When approaching your beehives, you want to be well covered with no vulnerable bits for nasty natured bees to take advantage of. (I know there are lots of beekeepers who scorn the protection of gloves and veils. However, for the rest of us it greatly adds to our enjoyment of beekeeping to be able to work our hives with confidence).

It is important to find a comfortable, well-made beesuit in which you feel safe with the maximum visibility. Here we offer our own Hive World range:- Hive World Ventilated available as both beesuit and jacket. Lightweight, comfortable style with quality finish.

Gloves
With gloves there is a wide selection. They are a very personal choice. Some like a less bulky style so they can feel what they are doing while others prefer a thick gauntlet. It is ideal if you are able to come to us and choose your gloves from our selection.
