A Comprehensive Guide To The Beekeeper Suit

A Comprehensive Guide To The Beekeeper Suit A beekeeper suit is something that comprises of protective garments which are generally worn by people who are involved in the business/hobby of beekeeping. Bees, as cute and fuzzy as they are, can be easily provoked and when done that, they can end up unleashing very painful stings (which can be quite deadly if you are allergic to them) on their victims, especially in their large, hive numbers. It is for this matter that the people who keep them must ensure that they properly protect themselves against the insects by wearing the beekeeper suit.

The prime reason to keep the bees is to get their honey to sell for a profit, or for personal use at home. However, this is not the only benefit that you can get from bees; bees wax is another product that is produced by bees which can be sold, as it has practical applications in human food and flavoring. You can also keep some bees to sell them to other who may be prospective beekeepers or the ones who seek them for some scientific study purposes. Crop farmers might also need bees to help them in pollinating their crop, i.e. where cross pollination is required.

With all of these benefits of beekeeping, it is crucial that you must take proper precaution when dealing with them.

Read on to know about some accessories that go hand in hand with a beekeeper suit.

1. Beekeeper Hat and Beekeeping Veil As a prospective beekeeper, one should know that your head is one of the most important areas you need to protect, and the beekeeper hat is responsible for doing just that. However, the hat alone is not enough for this purpose, and it is for this particular reason that the hat should always be worn with a beekeeping veil.

2. Beekeeping Gloves Beekeeping gloves are a type of accessory which are usually worn with the beekeeper suit as they act as a kind of protection for the beekeeper’s hands. Bees are generally easily provoked when honey is in their hives, so beekeepers should always be extra cautious to wear the gloves along with the suit for maximum protection.

3. Beekeeping Jacket A beekeeping jacket is another very important part of a beekeeper’s protection against bee stings. The jacket is one that usually resembles a parka jacket or those of firefighters, but designs do vary. The best type of beekeeping jacket is one that the hat and the veil can be fastened to using a zipper. This is so that when you move away

from the bee hive you can easily unzip the hat and veil and they can drop behind your head but still remain attached to the jacket.
