Ventilated Beekeeping Suit – kiwibreeze Full Suit (STEEL Zip)

Why a Ventilated Beekeeping Suit?

Beekeeping is a hot business, and most of it happens at the height of the day when most of the bees in the colony are out collecting honey and pollen. Make life easier for yourself and get a kiwibreeze – Ventilated Beekeeping Suit.

These Ventilated Beekeeping Suits are made with a three layer material which allows air to circulate around your body, but prevents bees stinging you.

The Ventilated Beekeeping Suit uses steel YKK zippers, three layers of ventilated fabric, two deep pockets at the chest and two deep pockets on the legs. The sleeves have elastic and the ankle area has a zip, so you can secure the bottom of the legs around around your shoes, or gumboots.

The ventilated fabric keeps you cool, but the multi layering prevents bees from stinging you because their stingers aren’t long enough to reach your body.

At kiwimana we have been using the Ventilated Beekeeping Suit since 2013 and find them fantastic, no more working in a damp sweat laden cotton suits all day. The kiwibreeze ventilated suit make beekeeping a joy on hot days. The material sits away from your skin, so the bee stingers aren’t long enough to reach your body. This reduces stings to a minimum.

While wearing the Ventilated Beekeeping Suit, you can do your beekeeping in shorts and a t-shirt!!
