GOOD FIT & COMFORT – Theses gloves come in many sizes to ensure you can get the best fit. If unsure which size to buy, then contact us so we can help. Unlike your beekeeping suit, your gloves need to be a snug fit, because wearing poorly fitting beekeeping gloves will make it harder to work your hives, increase clumsiness and risk of squashing your bees and being stung.
ARM & SLEEVE PROTECTION – Extended sleeves to beyond the elbow and strongly elasticated to ensure that the glove stays in place. Your beekeeping gloves need to protect your arms from the sting and that will stay in place as you work, this is important because as your apiary grows, you will need to spend more time working your bees. An extended sleeve provides additional protection to your forearms. Good tight elastic will ensure that your glove doesn’t slip and ensure a good bee tight seal.
WHY BEEKEEPING GLOVES ARE IMPORTANT? - Your hands are very valuable, and they deserve to be protected and sting-free. If your gloves fit you well and there are no gaps that will allow the bees into your gloves, then you will be fine. It doesn’t mean you will never be stung but they will significantly reduce the risk and severity of being stung.
WHY THESE GLOVES? - Beekeeping is mostly done in the summer when the weather is warm, so you will probably be going to be getting fairly hot when attending your bees. Working with sweaty hands can be quite uncomfortable and awkward so gloves fitted with ventilated sleeves can be a very welcome feature in the hot months. Along with all the benefits of our Sting Proof Cuff Gloves, these gloves are fitted ventilated sleeves to help keep your hands cooler
