LONGADS Professional Bee Suit for Men & Women, Beekeeping Suit with Glove & Ventilated Hood, Multi-Size Bee Outfit for Backyard Beekeeping & Christmas Costume

This protective suit was awesome. I am very much a novice I have never mess with bees, wasps let alone a hornets nest and this was a big one about the size of a watermelon and it was hanging on the second story of my house. And I read everything I could find on bald face hornets, and the more I read the more nervous I got. But I bought this suit and it’s awesome, one major point note always buy a little bit bigger. I am 185 and 5 10 1/2 and when you put clothes on underneath it does get tight so buy one size up. Other than that, this thing was great. It held up well it helped keep my anxiety and my nervousness about going after the nest at bay I loved it and I would recommend it to anyone..

Thank you For making and distributing this product. I was able to order it from Amazon with the next day delivery while strapped with ice packs from the stings.Yellow jackets made two nests in the door jam of my vehicle in a matter of days. After being stung brutally getting in the car initially, I used this suit armed with a large bowl of soapy water in the early cool morning hours.I did use everyone's advice on these reviews that said to wear heavy duty clothes underneath and buy one size up.What was a stinging fest yesterday was a very simple and quick termination of both nests and the insects.THANK YOU SO MUCH 😊

When we first received a hive, it was delivered by a kind, experienced gentleman. He was so chill showing us the hive, he wasn’t wearing any gear. If he was going to be chill, so was I… maybe it’s a “they can smell fear” kind of thing, I thought. So I forced myself to relax.After one stung me, I took a step back and still tried to stay calm, telling the man what happened. Then I felt two more stings in quick succession. I walked about 10 feet away, trying to stay calm and started to pray, I could hear angry buzzing. Sure enough, two more stings. So I booked it! I ran back toward my house a 1/4 mile away. Not only was I obese, but I was only 10 months post a back injury (shattered my T11)… so I was not running super fast. Those bees stuck with me as I ran, swirling around me, dropping in concentration the further I got. Even while running, I was stung five more times by those little terrorists… even feeling one wrap it’s annoyingly cute and painfully determined legs around the tip of my middle finger before it instantly They’re that venomous stinger into my skin. Why did it take me ten stings to motivate me to research about Bee safety?! Here’s some info you should know if you plan to work with bees:1- smoke serves multiple purposes. You’ve heard it “calms” them, maybe even “directs” them to avoid the area smoked. One other crucial purpose is to MASK the warning pheromones that could be given off by guard bees. Which brings me to number two.2- Bananas. Avoid anything banana-scented, including bananas prior to a hive inspection. The scent of a bee sting smells like banana, you don’t want to trigger an alert! Which brings me to number three…3- If ONE bee stings you, ACT quickly. Cover that scent immediately if you can. A big mistake I made was hanging around the hive with that smell radiating off my person. Have something scented with you to cover a beesting. I used chapstick once and it worked. It would be great to not have the other bees alerted that you are a threat…4- don’t be threatening! Standing in front of the hive opening is threatening, stand on the side or the rear. Do not wear dark clothing, hence why most bee suits are light in color! Dark hair or dark clothing matches the description of a bear, you will be targeted!5- Know scenarios that are agitating to bees… loud motors, exhaust from vehicles, bad weather (windy/extreme temps/ready to rain). These bees were closed up overnight and several hours while being transported to our home. This beekeeper should have known they would be agitated given the factors of that day… he should have had a smoker going and should have encouraged us to wear our gear!Be brave, AND be respectful. It would be super cool to party with bees all day in whatever clothing we want or even in the nude. Bees don’t ask questions, they don’t owe you respect when you’re breaking into their home. Protect yourself at all times. They give up their lives to defend their brood.Burlap and pine needles are organic options for your smoker. Learn from our mistakes! Please don’t let horror stories keep you from learning new things and having new adventures. I was a bit “triggered” by buzzing insects for a few weeks… but got over it. I know when I’m in this bee suit, I’m safe! The gloves have protected me from a couple more stings. The hood is easy to flip over the head and zipped closed with a nice cloth flap to ensure there are no gaps. We purchased sizes for me and my husband. He needed XXL being 6’2” and not super skinny to avoid constant wedgies. I’m a large gal at 5’6” and the XL gives plenty of room.Bees are tough to keep, but it’s amazing to watch them work and thrive! Watch a lot of YouTube videos, search the web for details about your environment for any tips and tricks for success.I’m SO grateful for this suit to help me care for my bees without fear of being attacked. Used for over a year and still great.

I received the suit today. I ordered the XXXL.I am a heavy 260 lbs at 6’4”. I am pleased to say it fit. Never thought it would.It seems to be tight at all seems when put on properly. I hope it stands up to bald head wasps. Any thoughts on that would be great.

The product looks wonderful but I totally ordered the wrong size. So I am returning the two options I initially ordered and ordering a smaller size. Feedback mentioned to size up, but I really misjudged how much to size up. But really impressed with the quality and I am hoping to wear suit to fight off some wasps on my patio…just need smaller size.

this is an absolutely fantastic product. I had a nest of bald faced hornets in my raspberry bed of my garden. I wore the suit and was able to remove the nest, and even though the Hornets were swarming me, they could not sting me at all. The material feels almost like a thick denim, the gloves I believe are leather, and the face mask is fantastic, it’s very breathable and there’s plenty of space between the mask in your face. I would highly highly recommend this.

I was shocked to find a yellow jacket nest in a window sill in my daughter's bedroom. This was 6pm on July 3rd, so finding someone to come out and take care of it wasn't happening. I ordered this bee suit for overnight delivery, and it worked great. I was able to safely address the nest. Note, I am 5'11 and around 190lbs and the XXL size was perfect. I would say to lean towards a larger size if you're anywhere close to the high end of the height ranges specified.

It helped make me feel safe while eradicating a wasp nest at night. No stings, but no swarms or foragers to really test it.
