Sting Stopper™ Beekeeper White Beekeeping Jacket
Why Beekeepers Love Our Bee Jacket:
-
Extended Fit, Zero Ride-Up: A longer torso design keeps you covered, no matter how you move, a feature we've incorporated since 2018. Tall people, you can thank us later.
-
Cool, Light & Protective: Triple-layer mesh lets air in and keeps stings out—even if you’re shirtless, which is a huge plus without protective gear.
-
Custom Built for You: Six Velcro patches let you personalize your jacket with your name, apiary, or even an American or military flag.
-
Quick On, Quick Off: Wide collar lets you pull it on like a hoodie or zip it traditionally, no more struggling with zippers. Say goodbye to that frustration.
-
Pocket Game Strong: From magnets to marker sleeves, it's built for real-life beekeeping with spots right where you need them based on the feedback from many beekeepers.
This isn’t just another jacket—it’s your field gear for the high-pressure world of beekeeping. Whether splitting hives or chasing down swarms, the Sting Stopper™ Jacket is built to keep up. Lightweight, breathable, and sting-proof, it’s designed for performance without the bulk.
We’ve tested the others. We’ve felt the gaps, the flaws, the “almost good enoughs.” So we built something better—quietly, carefully, and without cutting corners. And we have been at it for years now. No flash, no gimmicks. Just a jacket that handles the job so well, it disappears into the background… until you need it. Experienced beekeepers are our frequent customers.

Customer Reviews
But you 4XL is a lot bigger than 4XL from others.
I have had this for about a month now, it does a great job of keeping bees out while keeping you cool! My only issue with the suit that the vail zippers do not overlap.
5 Stars – Our New Go-To Jackets for Cutouts and Comfort!
These jackets have quickly become a favorite at Foothills Bee Company! The ventilation is outstanding—and will be especially appreciated during our intense North Carolina summers—and a major step up from some of the gear we’ve used in the past.
One of the biggest perks for us, especially being in the cutout business, is the Olive Green color. It’s not only sharp-looking but also much better at hiding the dirt and grime that comes with the job compared to traditional white gear.
I personally prefer the round veil in most situations, but the fencing veil with the front that opens up is a great option and pretty popular with our crew. The overlapping zippers take a little getting used to, but once you do, they’re no problem.
Sizing runs a bit large. For reference, I’m 5’5” and about 185 lbs—I wear a small comfortably, but even the extra small fits me well and doesn’t feel restrictive. We currently have four jackets in rotation (XS, S, and M), and I’ll probably grab another XS soon. It really comes down to personal preference—some folks like a roomier fit, but I’m not trying to feel like the Michelin Man in the bee yard!
All in all, these jackets check every box for us—comfortable, functional, and seem durable. Highly recommend!
– Corey, Foothills Bee Company, Conover, NC
I am new to beekeeping and to be honest I just wanted a jacket that was a little different and boy did I get lucky! My son-in-law who is teaching me about beekeeping is very jealous of my jacket. Easy to put on, ventilation is great, very well made, not to mention it's super cute! Definitely recommend.
I couldn't be happier with this full length suit...a total sting stopper for sure!
