The veils that failed did not work, so we ordered a Primeonly27 Beekeeper veil white hat round top w/elastic under arm straps that worked great. If I recall, it was $24.
Yes, I agree! There is a sting on my arm! One of my hives was knocked over by a tree during a The bees did not attack me while I was removing the trees with a chain saw, but as soon as I tried to upright the boxes, they attacked! The stings I received on my arms and legs totaled 15 in total. So maybe 15 was not so bad after all, I found 157 stingers in that suit. There were two bees inside the veil, which was worse than finding two bees outside. There were several small tears in the mesh material hidden in the folds at closer examination.

It's AWFUL to be hidden behind the veil! Okay, that's all. Humblebee suits have always been my favorite I've owned several of them before. This one had been sitting in my bag unused, until a few days ago when I first used it. I bought it last year, but it remained in the bag unused, until I used it again. As a result. I started noticing tears making their way into the screen on the veil after using it for less than a half an hour. At least an inch long, they are typically found all over the country. It has six tears in it. I imagine the screen tore along the folds, since it rotted in the packaging. How many more will form the second time I wear the suit? They are easy to repair, but how many more will form the third time? Despite all my efforts, the veil has not held up very well. There is a screen that can be obtained at Home Depot to repair window screens that looks like the kind used to make the veil. I am unable to return the suit for calendar reasons. I guess my only option (since I love the comfort and fit of the suit in general) is to cut out the veil and sew a heavier duty mesh in its place. I guess I'm going to have a lot of work to do. It is worth noting that I noticed three more areas where the screen is starting to tear as I took the photos for the review.
It seems that the suit is of decent quality, but it was way off in terms of sizing. There is no way I can bend over, because the inseam is too short. This brings a whole new meaning to the word So I must say this company has gone above and beyond with their customer service. I arrived at my hotel to find that a replacement suit had been delivered. In addition to the box, I also received a kind note apologizing for my displeasure with the original The customer service here is excellent. Wouldn't it be nice if this were the norm. HumbleBee has been incredibly kind and apologetic to me since reading my review and responding in such a kind and thoughtful manner without me having to put any additional effort on my end. A 10 out of 10 rating.
A visit to the emergency room is much more expensive. The manufacturer of this suit states that it is not rated to protect against wasps, as their stings are longer than that of It was working for yellowjackets, but I made a prudent decision to wear a thick fleece underneath just to be safe. The outer protective shell (having carefully checked for holes and ensuring all zippers and tabs were properly closed and fastened) and bulky clothing would have been more than enough to protect me from yellowjacket stings (nighttime only). Since the mesh veil was not touching the face there was no danger through the mesh veil. The price of the suit is much less than what it would cost to visit the ER! A sizing guide We recommend going one or two sizes larger than the size chart shows on the seller's website. My height and weight are 6' 1", and I weigh 230 pounds, so I chose the XXXL size, which allowed me to wear protective clothing underneath the The inside of the head section must be large enough to wear a red-beam There was no blockage of light by the veil. Despite its low price, the suit itself is made of high-quality materials with brass zippers. This pair of gloves goes nicely with the Because the only apparent difference is the better ventilation, we chose this product over a more expensive Humble Bee model At night, I was only required to wear a suit for a short period of time, so ventilation was not a big problem for me.
As far as I am concerned, this is by far the best The hive I had worked with was particularly aggressive. They found all the openings in my last outfit and so managed to get me to stop doing it because the size of the bees that were getting into my equipment and stinging me were so large. It was to prevent this that I purchased this suit. In this suit, you will be almost bulletproof. As a first-time user of this suit with that particularly aggressive hive, I was a little nervous to begin with, but after the first 10 minutes of working, I felt far more relaxed because no bees were managing to get There is no doubt that the materials are of the highest quality, as are the sewing/stitching. My height is 6' 3" and I weigh 230 lbs, and the XXXL fit me perfectly with blue jeans and a long sleeve I like the fact that the suit comes in a cloth zippered Humble Bee storage bag, a nice The bee suit is one that I would recommend to anyone who would like to enjoy their bees without feeling concerned about getting a dozen aggressive bees into their There is a commercial quality to this The craftsmanship and high quality of materials used by this company ensure that I will not purchase from them again for a long time. The suit is going to last a long time.
Thank you Humble Bee for your quality product. The attention to detail is evident in the final.
The Bees have caused me to purchase a number of different types Vendors offering suits of different types. The sizes were not correct for me, because I am 5 feet, 10 inches tall and weigh 176 pounds. I am neither lean nor overweight. The first thing I bought was a Large. The small size was too small for me, so I gave it to my teenage daughter and bought the next larger size. The problem is that it's not big enough! I ended up buying one from HumbleBee last night, but I decided to get the XXL size because it was more expensive. Although I initially feared overkill, I turned out to be right This XXL one was just right for me, even though I am a medium. I crouch in an uncomfortable manner if I bend over. To fit a medium-sized body, I think I would need an XXXL one! As someone who loves "China" - tiny and stalky people - I think it must be made there. This means an XXXL Chinese one is really a medium sized one. Though it's disappointing, I will keep it since it would take a lot of time and effort to send it back. It isn't larger than the one they have. There is also a disappointment for those expecting the Cover for the head to be netted It's better if there is only netting at the front The bees cannot sting the back of the cover with canvas because the honey bees never have an opening to sting (I work with African bees) A very aggressive person). Despite being very thin and flimsy, the netting folds easily and so touches your neck on the back. My guess is that I will have to stitch on a canvas or use cardboard at the back of my neck in that section.
