Bee Jackets
Built strong. Built simple. Built for real beekeepers.
Bee jackets offer essential upper-body protection for beekeepers who want safety, comfort, and flexibility in the bee yard. The Bee Jackets collection from West Alabama Bee Company includes three proven options designed for different working styles, climates, and preferences—without unnecessary complexity.
Whether you prefer the traditional durability of cotton, the lightweight comfort of a cool jacket, or the maximum airflow of a 3-layer ventilated design, each jacket in this collection is built for real-world beekeeping. All jackets are designed to provide reliable sting protection while allowing freedom of movement during inspections, feeding, and routine hive maintenance.
Our Bee Jacket options include:
-
Cotton Bee Jackets for classic, heavyweight protection
-
Cool Bee Jackets for lightweight, warm-weather comfort
-
3-Layer Ventilated Bee Jackets for maximum airflow in extreme heat
Each jacket is available in sizes Small through 5XL and features a zippered veil for secure head and face protection. Choose the jacket that best fits your climate, workload, and beekeeping style.
Built strong. Built simple. Built for real beekeepers — made for the bee yard, not the showroom.
