Pink Poly-Cotton Beekeeping Jacket – Durable Everyday Protection with a Distinctive Finish

The Mellifera Pink Poly-Cotton Beekeeping Jacket combines dependable upper-body protection, comfortable everyday wear, and a distinctive soft pink finish for regular apiary work.

Constructed from a tightly woven polyester-cotton blend, the jacket combines the durability of polyester with the comfortable feel and flexibility of cotton. Its waist-to-hood design provides practical coverage for hive inspections, honey harvesting, colony maintenance, and other routine beekeeping tasks.

The complete set includes two removable veil styles and long-cuff ventilated leather-palm beekeeping gloves, giving you a versatile protective setup ready for use around the apiary.

Durable Poly-Cotton Construction

The jacket is made from a tightly woven polyester-cotton blend selected for durability, flexibility, and comfortable everyday wear.

Its solid-fabric construction provides dependable coverage while remaining flexible enough for the reaching, lifting, bending, and frame handling involved in regular hive inspections.

Distinctive Soft Pink Finish

The soft pink finish provides an attractive and easily recognizable alternative to traditional white or khaki beekeeping clothing.

Its distinctive appearance makes the jacket easy to identify in shared apiaries, beekeeping clubs, training environments, and family hive setups without compromising the practical features required for everyday beekeeping.

Dependable Protective Coverage

The dense poly-cotton weave creates a durable protective layer between the beekeeper and the hive environment.

The tightly woven construction helps reduce the likelihood of stingers reaching the skin while maintaining sufficient flexibility for handling frames, inspecting brood boxes, harvesting honey, and performing routine colony maintenance.

Extensive Sizing Starting at XXS

The Pink Poly-Cotton Beekeeping Jacket is available in an extensive range of sizes beginning at XXS and extending through 10XL.

Dedicated Stout and Tall Slim options provide additional choices for different heights and body proportions. This broad sizing makes the jacket particularly suitable for women and smaller-framed beekeepers while remaining inclusive of a wide range of body types.

Two Removable Veils Included

Every jacket includes two interchangeable veil options, allowing you to choose the configuration that best suits your hive work.

The 360° round veil provides spacious all-around visibility with comfortable separation around the face.

The fencing veil offers a closer profile with convenient flip-open front access when required.

Both veils are fully removable and washable, making cleaning, storage, and maintenance straightforward.

Ventilated Beekeeping Gloves Included

The jacket comes complete with long-cuff ventilated beekeeping gloves featuring soft leather palms.

The leather palms provide practical hand protection and grip when handling frames and equipment, while the extended ventilated cuffs provide additional forearm coverage and help create a comfortable transition between the gloves and jacket sleeves.

Heavy-Duty YKK Zippers

Heavy-duty YKK zippers provide reliable closures and secure veil attachment for repeated apiary use.

The durable zipper system is designed for frequent opening and closing while helping maintain dependable coverage around important closure areas throughout hive inspections.

Elasticated Wrist Cuffs with Thumb Holes

Secure elasticated wrist cuffs help maintain a close transition between the jacket sleeves and protective gloves.

Integrated thumb holes help keep the sleeves correctly positioned while reaching into hive boxes, lifting frames, bending, and performing other active tasks.

Reinforced for Regular Apiary Work

High-stress areas, including the shoulders, cuffs, and key seams, feature reinforced stitching for additional durability.

This reinforcement helps the jacket withstand the repeated movement and equipment handling associated with routine hive inspections and seasonal apiary work.

Convenient Zippered Storage

Practical chest and side zippered pockets provide accessible storage for frequently used essentials such as:

• Mobile phone
• Hive tool
• Queen marker
• Small personal items
• Compact beekeeping accessories

Zippered closures help keep these items securely stored while you move between colonies.

Comfortable & Flexible for Everyday Inspections

For many routine hive tasks, a jacket provides a convenient alternative to wearing a complete beekeeping suit.

The poly-cotton construction offers a practical combination of durability, flexibility, and comfortable movement, making this jacket well suited to weekly inspections, honey harvesting, and general colony maintenance.

When additional lower-body coverage is preferred, it can be paired with suitable beekeeping trousers for a more comprehensive protective setup.

21 Size Options for a Better Fit

The Mellifera Pink Poly-Cotton Beekeeping Jacket is available in 21 size options.

Standard sizing ranges from XXS through 10XL, with dedicated Stout and Tall Slim cuts available to accommodate different heights and body proportions.

This extensive size selection helps beekeepers choose a comfortable fit with sufficient room for natural movement.

• Women and smaller-framed beekeepers
• Beginner and experienced beekeepers
• Backyard and hobby beekeeping
• Weekly and routine hive inspections

Care & Maintenance

Remove both veils before washing. Machine wash the jacket on a cold, gentle cycle without bleach, then allow it to air dry naturally in the shade and away from excessive heat.

Avoid bleach and high-temperature drying, as these can affect the poly-cotton fabric, veil mesh, elastic components, and appearance of the pink finish.

Clean the gloves separately using a damp cloth and allow them to dry naturally. Do not machine wash leather components.

Regular cleaning helps remove propolis, honey, smoker residue, dirt, and other materials that naturally accumulate during routine apiary work.
