A beekeeping suit is a protective garment worn by beekeepers to shield themselves from bee stings while working with honeybee colonies. These suits are typically made from lightweight, breathable materials to ensure comfort during long hours in the field. They often feature a full-length veil to protect the face and neck, along with gloves and boots for additional safety. The design of a beekeeping suit helps minimize the risk of allergic reactions and discomfort caused by bee stings. Many suits are white or light-colored, as darker colors can provoke bees. Properly fitted suits allow beekeepers to manage their hives effectively while maintaining safety.
