Rated 1 out of 5 stars

I never received the item I ordered and have not been able to make contact with the company despite multiple attempts. I'm currently out over $400.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Shipment was fast and they followed up to see if I was satisfied. I purchased the cowhide gloves to have something that defensive bees couldn't penetrate. I've watched several bees sting them but none... See more

The jacket is perfect. I usually buy a medium in t-shirts, but by following the sizing chart provided, I purchased an X-small. It fit perfectly. Even with everything in life shipping slowly due to... See more

My suit was packed perfectly, easy to put on, high quality, and I was totally successful in my brave backyard yellow jacket extermination. It's definitely important to order two sizes larger than you... See more

About Natural Apiary Beekeeping Supplies

Written by the company

We aim to improve our local environment, ensuring that our green areas remain green, and plants pollinated, by promoting coexistence with nature through beekeeping.

We want everyone to become a beekeeper and never quit because we realize that when you start keeping bees, you increase your awareness of the importance of conserving the natural environment.

The two main reasons for people never taking up beekeeping and quitting beekeeping are, firstly, the fear of being stung or constantly being stung. Secondly, the collapse of bee colonies, we purposely focus on beekeeper safety and bee health.

Since 2014 we have continually improved the safety of our protective clothing and enriched the nutritional value of our bee feed.

By keeping beekeepers safe, supporting bees’ health, reinvesting into initiatives that help promote beekeeping. Beekeepers can get the most out of their beekeeping journey and continue to help pollinate our crops and keep our planet alive.

Bee Safe, Bee Healthy, Bee Our Future

Inclusive size range, high quality suit...

The size range of suits and gloves is very inclusive- I have never been able to find a suit that fits me (XXS) until ordering my Zephyros suit and not only is the suit very high quality, it fits perfectly. Shipping was quick and I especially enjoyed the follow up/thank you email. Will be back for all my beekeeping needs.

love it

love it! Until I leant to my brother who burnt a hole in it with the smoker! I enjoyed it immensely for a week though. Will buy another once I can afford another.

First time buyer and beginner apiary

First time buyer and beginner apiary. Need to be able to trust the sites I'm using for training and product. The suit I purchased is what I expected. The process of ordering was easy and delivery was as expected. They have also been good at communicating and following up on the sale and my satisfaction.

Upgraded to the Zephyros

This is my second suit from Natural Apiary. I had my 1st suit for 5 years (beginner apiarist beekeeping suit). Since the recent passing of my father in-law, who was the primary beekeeper of our apiary, I am now the only beekeeper and spending more time with my bees, I needed the highest protection. I upgraded to the Zephyros - 3 Layer Ventilated Beekeeping Suit. This suit is amazing, the comfort and protection is second to none! I've always love working with the bees, this suit gives me the extra security and safety of not being stung and fully enjoying working with my bees.

My beeswax was shipped fast and the product looks great. Haven't had time to make my waxed cloths yet. It was on sale for $29 instead of $39. I think $39 would have been a bit unreasonable.

After three uses developed holes in outer shell . Sent pic to representative and was told I must have rubbed up against a hive ! Last I heard from her ! I don’t mind spending extra money for Quality Products that Last and Companies Stand Behind , I was also told to put tape on the affected area.

Great gear and great service

Great gear and great service. The gloves and beekeeping suits were shipped promptly and work great. The goatskin gloves are very soft- I'm able to manipulate frames without struggle. We have several suits. The Max Protect suit is my main suit. The fit is good, zippers seem to be excellent, material weight is just right (not too heavy, not too light). I liked the suit so much that I got a Zephyros ventilated suit for my wife and a ventilated jacket for myself for hot weather. Material feels very nice and light and it breathes. It has a little more volume, but you don't feel like a marshmallow. It's also great to have the 2nd veil. I'm 6'2" and thin, I wear the large size suit. I will probably need to add ankle gaiters when dealing with difficult bees, relocating a feral hive, etc.

Awesome gloves

Awesome gloves, very sturdy construction, great materials and fit. I was looking for small gloves that would be protective but also give me better dexterity and ease when working with my hive and these are perfect!

I love my new bee suit and gloves! 🐝👍

I love my new bee suit and gloves! Both are a great fit. I’m 5’2”, 118lbs and ordered a XS for both. The suit is a tad long height wise but I can move with ease and it’s not a hindrance. Plenty of room to wear jeans and a long sleeve if I’d like. Excited to work with my bees! Thank you Natural Apiary for the quick delivery and awesome customer service. Will recommend any family or friends looking for a great beesuit!
