Meet the Mellifera Pink 3 Layer Super Cool Mesh Beekeeping Suit, the same complete protective kit American beekeepers rely on, finished in a soft pink that stands out in the apiary. Layered mesh keeps constant airflow moving over your body while holding bee stingers away from your skin, so you stay cool and protected through the hottest hive inspections of summer. Pink is a light, low-contrast shade, so you get a look you'll love without giving up the calm, bee-friendly color range beekeepers have trusted for generations.
Remove both veils, wash cold on gentle without bleach, and air dry away from heat. Skipping bleach keeps the pink from fading and going patchy. Wipe leather gloves with a damp cloth, never machine wash. Wash regularly in season since sting pheromones in fabric can agitate bees.
Mellifera Protective Clothing designs suits, jackets, and trousers built for real apiary work and trusted by beekeepers across the USA. Most new, unopened items can be returned within 30 days for a full refund. This pink suit shares the exact same 3 layer spec as our white and khaki suits, only the color changes.
Prefer a different color? The same suit is available in White and Khaki. See the full 3 Layer Super Cool Mesh Beekeeping Suit collection, or pair it with our mesh beekeeping jacket and mesh trousers.
Yes. Bees react to dark, high-contrast colors, not to light pastels. Pink sits in the same light color family as white, so it does not trigger the defensive response that black or dark brown gear can.
No noticeable difference. Colony temperament depends far more on weather, forage, queen genetics, and how calmly you work the hive than on whether your suit is white or pink.
It is cut unisex, but 21 sizes from XXS to 10XL plus Tall Slim options mean women beekeepers can find a fit that actually works instead of swimming in a men's medium.
Yes. The 3 layer mesh design creates airflow that keeps beekeepers cool during hive inspections in hot US climates like Texas, Florida, and Arizona.
No. The air gap layer keeps outer mesh away from skin, so stingers generally cannot reach you during hive work.
Not if you wash it correctly. Wash cold on a gentle cycle, skip bleach and harsh detergents, and air dry out of direct sun. Bleach is what causes patchy fading on colored suits.
21 unisex sizes from XXS to 10XL, plus Stout and Tall Slim cuts. A height based size finder helps American beekeepers choose the right fit.
The full kit includes the pink 3 layer mesh suit, a round 360 degree veil, a fencing veil with flip open front, long cuff leather gloves, and zippered ankle protectors.
Yes. The fencing veil has a flip open front, letting beekeepers drink water without removing full head protection.
Detach both veils, wash cold on gentle cycle without bleach, air dry away from heat. Wipe leather gloves clean, never machine wash them.
Sting pheromones build up in fabric and can agitate bees during future inspections, so regular washing in season is recommended.
Yes. Zippered ankle protectors close the gap between pant leg and boot, the entry point bees find most often.
No suit guarantees zero stings. The 3 layer mesh design significantly reduces risk since fabric depth exceeds stinger length, but proper zipping and sealed cuffs are still needed.
Yes. Same 3 layer mesh construction, same YKK zippers, same dual veils, gloves, and ankle protectors, same 21 sizes. The color is the only difference.
