Ventilated 3-Layer Beekeeping Overall with Hood

Stay cooler while working colonies in warm Australian conditions with the Ventilated 3-Layer Overall from Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies. Designed specifically for beekeepers, this full-body protective garment combines open-weave ventilation with practical details for regular hive inspections.

The three-layer mesh creates physical depth between the outer surface and the wearer while allowing air to move through the garment. Consequently, many beekeepers can work comfortably in lighter clothing underneath during hot weather.

Features Designed Around Hive Work

The overall includes several details developed with input from professional and hobby beekeepers:

  • Velcro adjustment tabs at the cuffs
  • Elastic waist adjustment
  • Durable metal zips
  • Reinforced fabric at the knees and front legs
  • Veil stiffener to hold mesh away from the face
  • Hive-tool pocket
  • Arm pen pocket
  • Hip pockets
  • Breast pockets with Velcro closures

Heavy-duty fabric is positioned in high-wear areas, including the knees and front legs, which can be useful when handling hive boxes during inspections.

Size and Veil Options

Current buying options include:

  • Sizes: XXS, XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL and 6XL
  • Veil options: hood-style veil or traditional hat veil
  • Quantity: one overall per selected size and veil configuration

The product page advises choosing a beekeeping garment by the supplied size chart rather than normal T-shirt chest sizing because protective clothing is intentionally cut loose. For reference, the model shown on the page is 177cm tall and wears a medium.

Easy-Care Protective Clothing

The overall can be machine washed after the detachable veil has been removed. Follow the garment-care instructions and inspect zips, mesh and closures before every hive visit.

No bee suit can guarantee complete protection from stings. Wear the overall correctly, close all openings and combine it with suitable gloves and footwear.

Made for Australian Beekeeping Conditions

The combination of ventilation, a wide size range and reinforced working areas makes this mesh bee suit suitable for hobbyists as well as experienced beekeepers who spend longer periods in the apiary.

Please note: That no Bee Suit protects against 100% of stings. You may even get stung taking it off. Stay safe out there.

Great suit, i have never been stung wearing this suit. The ventilation is great for warm weather (and if it's cool weather you can always wear a jumper underneath!). Super quick to take on and off too.
