Pink Poly-Cotton Beekeeping Suit – Durable Full-Body Protection with a Distinctive Finish

The Mellifera Pink Poly-Cotton Beekeeping Suit combines traditional full-body coverage with a distinctive soft pink finish. Built from the same durable, pre-shrunk heavyweight poly-cotton construction as the classic white version, it delivers the practical protection and durability needed for regular apiary work without compromising on style.

From the heavy-duty YKK zippers and reinforced stress points to the dual removable veil system, every feature is designed for dependable everyday use. The light pink color also makes the suit easy to recognize in shared apiaries, beekeeping courses, clubs, and family hive setups.

Durable Pre-Shrunk Poly-Cotton Construction

The suit is made from a tightly woven polyester and cotton blend that combines durability, comfortable wear, and dependable coverage.

Its pre-shrunk construction helps the suit maintain a consistent shape and fit through repeated washing, while the solid fabric provides a reliable protective barrier during routine hive inspections and other apiary tasks.

Traditional Solid Full-Body Coverage

This suit uses solid poly-cotton fabric throughout the main body rather than ventilation mesh, providing continuous coverage from neck to ankle.

The traditional construction makes it particularly suitable for cooler-weather inspections, spring colony checks, swarm collection, and situations where additional solid-fabric coverage is preferred.

A relaxed cut provides room to bend, reach, lift hive components, and work around brood boxes without unnecessary restriction.

Distinctive Soft Pink Finish

The soft pink finish provides an attractive alternative to traditional white and khaki beekeeping clothing while maintaining the same functional construction.

Its recognizable color also makes the suit easy to identify when multiple beekeepers are working together, making it a practical choice for clubs, courses, shared apiaries, and family beekeeping setups.

Two Removable Veils Included

Every suit includes two interchangeable veil styles, giving you greater flexibility for different hive tasks.

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 easy access when required.

Both veils are fully removable and washable for straightforward cleaning and maintenance.

Complete Protective Kit

Everything needed for comprehensive everyday hive protection is included in the set:

• Pink full-body poly-cotton beekeeping suit
• 360° round veil
• Flip-open fencing veil
• Long-cuff cowhide leather beekeeping gloves
• Ankle protectors

This complete setup makes the suit particularly convenient for beginners assembling their first protective kit as well as experienced beekeepers looking for an additional full-coverage suit.

Heavy-Duty YKK Zippers & Protective Flaps

Heavy-duty YKK zippers are positioned at the front, legs, and veil attachment areas for dependable operation during repeated use.

Protective fabric storm flaps cover important zipper areas to help minimize potential openings and provide an additional layer of coverage.

Extended leg zippers also make it easier to put the suit on or remove it while wearing work boots.

Secure Wrist, Waist & Ankle Closures

Elasticated sections around the wrists, waist, and ankles provide a secure yet flexible fit during hive work.

Additional hook-and-loop adjustments at key closure points help reduce gaps, while the included ankle protectors provide extra coverage where the pant legs meet your boots.

The long-cuff leather gloves extend over the forearms and feature elasticated sleeve areas for additional coverage around the glove-to-suit transition.

Reinforced for Regular Apiary Work

Hive inspections involve frequent bending, kneeling, lifting, and reaching, so additional reinforcement is incorporated into areas exposed to greater stress.

Reinforced stitching at the knees, seat, shoulders, and other high-stress seams improves durability and helps the suit withstand regular seasonal use.

Convenient Zippered Storage

Multiple zippered pockets at the chest, hip, and thigh provide convenient storage for frequently used items such as:

• Mobile phone
• Hive tool
• Queen cages
• Small beekeeping accessories

The pockets are positioned for practical access without interfering with normal movement around the hive.

21 Size Options for a Better Fit

The Mellifera Pink Poly-Cotton Beekeeping Suit is available in 21 size options, providing an extensive range for different heights and body proportions.

Standard sizing runs from XXS through 10XL, with additional Stout and Tall Slim cuts available for beekeepers who need more specialized proportions.

The relaxed design also provides sufficient room for comfortable movement and layering when working in cooler conditions.

Ideal For

The Pink Poly-Cotton Beekeeping Suit is an excellent choice for:

• Beginner and experienced beekeepers
• Backyard and hobby apiaries
• Beekeeping courses and training sessions
• Family and shared apiaries
• Cool-weather hive inspections
• Spring colony build-up checks
• Swarm collection
• Routine colony maintenance
• Beekeepers wanting an easily identifiable suit
• Anyone looking for a durable second or backup suit
• A practical first-suit gift for a new beekeeper

Care & Maintenance

Remove both veils before washing. Machine wash the suit on a cold, gentle cycle without bleach, then allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

Regular washing helps remove propolis, honey, smoker residue, dirt, and other materials that can accumulate during normal apiary work.

Clean the cowhide leather gloves separately using a damp cloth and allow them to dry naturally. Never machine wash leather gloves.
