Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about sizing, protection, shipping, returns, and care for your beekeeping suits and accessories.
Sizing & Fit
How do I find my size?
Measure your height (barefoot, floor to head) and your chest (tape around the fullest part under the arms). Choose the size that fits both—if you’re between sizes, go up for airflow and mobility. See our step-by-step guide.

Is the fit unisex? What about women’s sizing?
Yes—our suits are unisex. Use chest and height as your primary references. If you prefer more room at the hips or want a shorter torso, choose the size that fits your chest/height and add a slightly looser fit for comfort.
Should my suit be tight or loose?
Slightly looser is best. A little ease (about 1–2 in / 3–5 cm at the chest) improves airflow and helps keep fabric off the skin.
What’s the difference between a fencing veil and a round veil?
Fencing veil: more compact, great visibility and mobility.
Round veil: more space around the face and excellent 360° airflow. Pick based on your preference and task.

Protection & Safety
Will I still get stung in a suit?
Protective wear reduces sting risk but cannot eliminate it. Correct fit, closed zippers/overlaps, calm handling, and good timing make the biggest difference.
Ventilated vs. cotton—what should I choose?
Ventilated (AirMesh) suits breathe better in heat while staying sting-safe. Cotton can feel cozier in cooler months. Many keepers use ventilated most of the year.
Can I wear glasses or a hat under the veil?
Yes—most frames fit comfortably. Keep lenses from touching the mesh and avoid bulky caps that push the veil onto your face.
Do your zippers and seams hold up?
Our suits use durable stitching and pro-grade hardware. Check each product page for specifics; pro models feature reinforced veils and heavy-duty zippers.
