The MaxPro lined breathable nylon beekeeping suit in white

Fully lined and ventilated nylon beekeeping suit with ClearView veil for the ultimate in lightweight protection

The innovative all-in-one MaxPro gives you all the unique features of the original BJ Sherriff suit, but with added safety features. Made in quality, breathable lightweight nylon with a slick outer so bees find it hard to get a grip.

It’s half the weight of its polycotton counterpart, and the suit of choice for Proven Protection© in warmer climates.

Designed by Brian Sherriff for his daughter Angela after she became allergic to bee stings, it’s the ideal garment if you’re sensitive to bee stings or wish to continue beekeeping during a course of de-sensitization. (Although we do also recommend you always seek advice from your doctor and carry appropriate anti-sting medication)

Our thick spiral spacer lining acts as an extra body shield, holding the outer layer of the suit more than the depth of an average bee sting away from the body.

A unique bone-structured hood with extra adjustable and removable bars to keep the veil well away from the face.

Paired with our unique ClearView veiling to give you complete clarity of vision, with excellent ventilation and a light and airy feel – so you stay comfortable even during long spells in the apiary.

These suits are made to order in Cornwall, England by our skilled machinists to bring you a beekeeping suit with exceptional protection, and give you full confidence when handling bees and other flying insects.
