ANDES Sting Proof Bee Suit with Gloves & Fencing Veil, M(Fits 5'3"-5'7") | Professional Beekeeper outfit Kit, Wasp Resistant, Unisex, for Apiary Backyard Halloween, Beginner & Pro

I needed to move a bumblebee nest that was in my chicken coop and did not want to pay $$$$ to a professional. I was afraid the pro might destroy the nest instead of move it because most of the pros around here will only remove and relocate honey bees. Bumblebees can pack a pretty good punch as I discovered when I accidentally kicked their nest, but when not directly disturbed they are pretty benign. The only real problem with them is they increase in number over the summer and I was afraid my chickens would either attack them or visa versa. I am not a beekeeper so do not know how to judge the quaility of a bee suit, but this one seems to be well made with tightly woven material and leather glove/gauntlets. On the advice of another reviewer, I wore a ball cap backwards to keep the back of the head cover away from my neck ....good avice! I was able to go in after dark and gently scoop up the entire nest and relocate it to an old dog house on the far edge of my yard. This was 3 weeks ago and they are still there and thriving! During the move I was attacked around my face but the net kept me safe. I wore jeans and a long sleeved shirt for extra protection and I came out of it unstung. The price was so reasonable! It was worth every penny because not only did it protect me, but it allowed me to keep those precious bees nearby. And now I will have the suit if the need arrises again. I am 5 ft 4 in, 135 lb and I ordered a medium. It was slightly large on me.

I'm 5'4+" and ordered a large--put it on over my clothes and there was plenty of room, the fabric is satisfyingly close-weaved and stiff. The hood is great, easy to see out of and stands away from my face. Zippers are large plastic and worked well; the elastic around the foot and hand openings is snug. Haven't used it yet so I don't know how it is on yellow jackets but I'll guess that it will last quite a while. Overall I'm impressed with the design, the workmanship and the materials. It was easy to get in and out of. And affordable! (a third the cost of an emergency room visit!)

Saved us while spraying a hornet nest.

This thing is SOLID. Zippers are heavy duty, they seal well. I am 6ft, 230lbs 38in waist... slightly athletic (US Military) and XXL fits PERFECT!!! Wear a hat with the veil to keep it off your nose. Gloves fit better than any glove I own 😅 For the price this thing ROCKS.

It did the job for me as I tried to see what kind of bees or wasps I was dealing with. It was about 78 degrees when I decided to climb the ladder and face the bees and the suit and mask kept me safe and protected. The bees were all around me, but I received no stings. The suit is made well so I will put it to the side for the next time I need it. I grabbed the 2XL suit because I'm about 6'1" tall and it just worked for me. The size chart says 2XL is good for up to 6'3" but I question that .the length did fully cover my arms and legs so I will not complain.

I bought the XXL Bee Suit hoping for full coverage, and overall the quality is decent. The suit covers every inch from head to ankle and provides solid protection against bees. The goatskin gloves are thick and protective, the ventilated hood is comfortable with good visibility, and the material feels durable for backyard beekeeping. However, the fit is the biggest issue. Even in XXL, it feels tight around the shoulders and waist, and the elastic bands are a bit too strong, making it uncomfortable during longer use. I wish the sizing was more generous. Other than the fitting problem, it’s a good beekeeper suit for the price and does its main job well.

At 5 foot 4 and 110 pounds I ordered the medium and it fit well except if I needed to stoop down. The torso length isn’t long enough to allow me to stoop down in this. As long as you are not going to bend over, this will fit perfectly if you are my size. Large would allow me to stoop but then it would be too baggy! It is light and comfortable and of good quality and the zipper runs well. The material feels like a bee could not penetrate! I would wear a baseball cap underneath to keep the screen in front of the face from touching your face. The gloves are real leather and the elastic at the cuffs in the gloves, pants and sleeves are tight enough not to let a Bee fly in, but not so tight that they are uncomfortable!

Fits well and is comfortable. Bees have visibly tried to sting and none got through. Cool in the summer as well. Definitely recommend for the price

Suit is plenty big. I’m 5.3 medium build and I thought that I had read that the suit ran on the smaller side, so I ordered a large. Too big really but it doesn’t matter in the scheme of things. Better too big than too small. The material is on the thin side. Nice for summer.
