OZ APIARIST 3 Layer Mesh Ventilated Beekeeping Suit With Your Choice Of Veil

OZ APIARIST 3-Layer Mesh Ventilated Beekeeping Suit

The OZ APIARIST 3-Layer Mesh Ventilated Beekeeping Suit is designed for beekeepers who want strong sting protection without the heat and restriction associated with heavier protective clothing. Its three-layer mesh construction creates a protective barrier while allowing air to move through the suit during demanding hive work.

With a choice of Fencing/Sherriff or Round Hat veils, the suit can be configured to suit your preferred style of protection. Explore OZ Armour for beekeeping suits, protective clothing, hive equipment and other essentials for your apiary.

Three-Layer Mesh Protection

The suit uses a three-layer mesh system consisting of a durable poly-cotton outer layer, an EVA foam mesh middle layer and a soft poly-cotton inner layer.

The middle layer adds separation between the outer fabric and your skin, helping create an effective barrier against bee stings while maintaining airflow. The total mesh thickness is approximately 4 cm.

Designed for Better Airflow

Ventilation is one of the key advantages of the OZ APIARIST suit. The breathable mesh construction allows air to circulate through the protective layers, helping reduce heat buildup during warm-weather hive inspections.

This makes it particularly useful for beekeepers working for extended periods around the apiary.

Choose Your Veil Style

The suit is available with your choice of Fencing/Sherriff or Round Hat veil. Both options provide full head protection while giving you the ability to choose the style that best suits your beekeeping routine.

The spacious hood is designed to remain positioned away from the face, helping maintain visibility while working around the hive.

Spacious Hood for Clear Visibility

The hood is designed with additional space so the veil stays away from the face. This helps provide a clearer field of vision when inspecting frames, handling bees and moving around the apiary.

Keeping the mesh away from the face can also make the suit more comfortable during longer inspections.

Heavy-Duty YKK Zippers

The suit uses a high-quality YKK zipper system designed to provide secure closure around the protective clothing. Strong zippers are important on a beekeeping suit because gaps or poorly secured closures can compromise protection.

The zipper design also makes the suit straightforward to put on and remove. 

Practical Hive Tool Pocket

A strategically positioned hive tool pocket gives you a convenient place to keep an essential tool while working through the hive.

Having your hive tool within easy reach can make routine inspections more efficient by reducing the need to put equipment down or search for it between frames.

Built for Regular Beekeeping

The OZ APIARIST suit is designed for both professional and hobby beekeepers, with a focus on durability, mobility and everyday functionality.

The roomy construction allows freedom of movement while the ventilated mesh helps keep the suit comfortable during active hive work.

Weather-Resistant Construction

The suit is designed to provide protection in damp conditions as well as during normal hive inspections. This makes it a practical choice when weather conditions are less than ideal.

The protective layers help maintain coverage without sacrificing the ventilation benefits of the mesh construction.

Easy to Maintain

The suit is machine washable, while the detachable hood can be hand washed. This makes routine cleaning easier after dusty, muddy or sweaty hive inspections.

Regular cleaning can also help keep the mesh and fabric fresh throughout the beekeeping season.
