FAQs

Are cotton bee suits good for beginners? +
Yes — they're breathable, durable, easy to wash and the most affordable option, which makes cotton a popular first suit for new beekeepers.
Cotton or ventilated — which is better? +
Cotton for cooler climates, durability and budget; a 3-layer ventilated suit for hot climates and maximum airflow; polycotton sits in between.
Are cotton bee suits sting-proof? +
A good cotton suit of sufficient thickness resists most stings when it fits properly — the cuffs, ankles and veil need to seal snugly.
How do you wash a cotton bee suit? +
Machine wash on a gentle, cold cycle; avoid bleach and softeners; detach a removable veil first; follow the care label.
