Sunday Question 🐝

Right, beekeepers… modesty is cancelled for the day 😆

We KNOW you’ve got something you’re secretly rather proud of, so let’s hear it…

🐝 Maybe you’ve never lost a colony.
🐝 Maybe you can spot an unmarked queen from three postcodes away 👀👑
🐝 Maybe you’ve had a ridiculous honey harvest 🍯
🐝 Or maybe you caught that swarm everyone else said was impossible.

Whatever it is, this is your official permission to brag.

No modesty. No humblebragging. We want the FULL flex 💪🐝👇

What does 5mm of protection actually do? 🐝

BBwear Ultra’s 5mm-deep 3D fabric creates space between your skin and a bee’s sting, helping reduce contact while still allowing air to flow through the suit.

That means extra sting protection without sacrificing ventilation, even through long hive inspections.

5mm of depth. 100% airflow. One seriously protective bee suit.

Small gaps. Big stings.

Bees don’t need much of an opening. Wrists, ankles and boots are some of the easiest places for them to find a way in.

That’s why fit matters just as much as fabric. A loose-fitting suit, gauntlets worn over your sleeves, and ankle zips worn over your boots all help reduce the gaps where bees can get in.

BBwear recommends wearing Deluxe suits over wellies or tall boots for exactly this reason.

What to look for:

•⁠ ⁠A loose fit for layering and freedom of movement

•⁠ ⁠Gauntlets that sit securely over your sleeves

•⁠ ⁠Ankle zips that fit over wellies or tall boots

•⁠ ⁠A hood and veil that stay away from your face, giving you a clear view

Good protection isn’t just one feature. It’s how every part works together.

👇 What’s the BIGGEST swarm you’ve ever caught?

Tell us how big it was, where you found it and if you’ve got a photo, we definitely want to see it! 👀🐝

One suit. Three ways to wear it. 🐝

Different beekeepers prefer different views at the hive, and sometimes the way you work changes too.

That’s why BBwear hoods are interchangeable. Simply zip one off and swap it for another, choosing between:

🔸 TruView: for a crystal-clear view through the replaceable screen
🔸 Round: for the traditional all-round hood style
🔸 Fencing: for a familiar, practical beekeeping setup

So you don’t need to replace your suit just because you want a different hood.

Swap the hood, not the suit.

Thicker protection doesn’t have to mean hotter beekeeping 🐝

BBwear Ultra uses a 5mm-deep, highly ventilated 3D fabric designed to create distance between you and a bee’s sting, while allowing air to flow through the suit.

That means extra sting protection without sacrificing the airflow you want when you’re working through long hive inspections.

🐝 5mm-deep protective fabric
💨 100% airflow
☀️ Highly ventilated for cooler, more comfortable beekeeping
🇬🇧 Made in the UK

Because more protection shouldn’t mean more heat.

A veil should protect you, not get in your way.

That’s why BBwear hoods are designed with a generous shape that keeps the veiling away from your face and ears.

The extra space gives you a clearer view to the front and sides, reduces the veil brushing against your skin, and makes long inspections more comfortable.

Features include:
• Interchangeable hood options
• Long Life Veiling™
• A loose-fitting design for comfort and freedom of movement
