Khaki 3-Layer Super Cool Mesh Beekeeping Suit for Breathable All-Day Protection

Built for demanding days in the bee yard, the Mellifera Khaki 3-Layer Super Cool Mesh Beekeeping Suit combines continuous ventilation, protective spacing, and practical durability in one complete protective set.

The light khaki finish offers a professional alternative to traditional white while helping make everyday propolis marks, wax residue, dust, and general apiary dirt less noticeable between washes. Underneath the practical color is an advanced three-layer mesh construction designed to keep air circulating while maintaining protective distance between bee stingers and your skin.

Advanced 3-Layer Ventilated Mesh Construction

The suit uses three individual mesh layers designed to provide a comfortable balance of airflow and sting protection:

• Durable Outer Mesh: Provides the first protective layer and withstands regular contact during everyday hive work.
• Protective Air-Gap Layer: Creates additional space between bees and your body, helping prevent stingers from reaching the skin.
• Breathable Inner Mesh: Provides a softer layer against your clothing while allowing air to circulate throughout the suit.

Together, these layers provide the ventilation needed for warm-weather beekeeping while maintaining dependable protective spacing.

Practical Khaki Finish for Regular Apiary Work

The light khaki color is particularly practical for beekeepers who spend significant time around their colonies. Compared with traditional bright white protective clothing, the neutral finish helps conceal common signs of hive work, including propolis, wax marks, grass stains, dust, and yard dirt.

This helps the suit maintain a cleaner, more professional appearance between washes—especially useful for commercial beekeepers, swarm collectors, removal specialists, and anyone working multiple apiaries.

Two Removable Veils Included

Every suit includes two different veil styles, giving you greater flexibility depending on the task.

The 360° round veil provides spacious all-around visibility and comfortable separation around the face. The fencing veil offers a closer profile with a convenient flip-open front for quick access when needed.

Both veils are removable and washable for easier cleaning and routine maintenance.

Complete Protective Kit in One Package

The Khaki Super Cool Mesh Beekeeping Suit comes with the essential protective equipment needed for everyday hive work:

• Khaki 3-layer ventilated beekeeping suit
• 360° round veil
• Flip-open fencing veil
• Long-cuff leather beekeeping gloves
• Ankle protectors

With these essential accessories included, both new and experienced beekeepers can get comprehensive protection without purchasing the main components separately.

Heavy-Duty YKK Zippers & Secure Closures

Heavy-duty YKK zippers provide dependable operation during regular apiary use. Extended leg zippers also make it easier to put the suit on and remove it while wearing jeans or work boots.

Elasticated closures around the wrists, waist, and ankles help minimize openings while maintaining the flexibility required for handling frames and performing other hive tasks.

Additional ankle protectors provide extra coverage around the transition between the suit and your footwear.

Convenient Storage for Hive Essentials

Multiple zippered pockets at the chest, hip, and thigh provide convenient storage for a phone and small beekeeping essentials.

The suit is designed to allow natural movement while inspecting colonies, handling frames, lifting equipment, harvesting honey, collecting swarms, and completing routine hive maintenance.

Designed for Hot-Weather Beekeeping

Long hive inspections can become uncomfortable when protective clothing traps excessive heat. The Super Cool mesh construction is designed to promote airflow throughout the suit, helping reduce heat buildup during warmer working conditions.

This makes the khaki suit particularly suitable for summer hive inspections, extended bee yard sessions, and beekeepers working in consistently warm climates.

21 Size Options for a More Comfortable Fit

Proper sizing is important for both mobility and protective spacing. The Khaki Super Cool Mesh Beekeeping Suit is available in 21 size options, with standard sizing ranging from XXS through 10XL.

Additional Stout and Tall Slim cuts accommodate different body proportions, making it easier to find a comfortable fit without relying solely on standard sizing.

If you’re between sizes, selecting the roomier option can provide additional freedom of movement and space for clothing underneath.

Ideal For

This khaki ventilated beekeeping suit is well suited for:

• Hobby and experienced beekeepers
• Sideliners and commercial apiary workers
• Swarm collection and bee removal work
• Long summer hive inspections
• Honey harvesting and colony maintenance
• Beekeepers working across multiple bee yards
• Anyone who prefers a practical alternative to traditional white suits
• Beekeepers requiring Stout or Tall Slim sizing

Care & Maintenance

Remove both veils before washing the suit. Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle without bleach, then allow it to air dry naturally away from excessive heat. Avoiding bleach also helps maintain a consistent khaki finish over repeated washes.

Leather gloves should be cleaned separately using a damp cloth and allowed to dry naturally. Do not machine wash leather gloves.

Regular cleaning helps remove propolis, wax, dirt, and other residue that naturally accumulates during hive work.
