Kids get hot faster than adults during hive inspections, and a suit that's too warm means a cranky, distracted beekeeper-in-training. This suit uses the same triple-layer ventilated material as our adult ventilated suits, sized down for kids, so your child stays protected without overheating.
Key Features
-
Triple-layer ventilated material: the same sting-proof construction as our adult suits, not a lighter-duty kids version.
-
Round veil with elevated hat: full panoramic visibility during inspections.
-
Triple overlapping zippers with a veil lock: no gaps where bees can get in.
-
Elastic and velcro wrist/ankle cuffs: sealed openings at every entry point.
-
YKK zippers throughout, plus pockets for gloves, a hive tool, or whatever else your kid insists on bringing to the bee yard.
Size Guide
The best fit comes from two measurements, not age alone: torso (crotch to top of shoulder) and total height. Measure both and find the size where your child fits both columns — take your kid's build into account if they fall between two sizes.
| Size |
Torso (A) |
Height (B) |

| XS |
17-21" |
44-48" |

| S |

| M |
21-23" |
52-56" |
6-9 |
| L |
22-24" |
56-60" |
8-11 |
Age is a rough guide only — a tall 7-year-old at 55" typically wears a Medium, while an average 7-year-old closer to 48" would wear a Small. Go by torso and height first.
What to Watch For
This is a beige suit, and beige shows dirt and propolis stains. It washes fine on a gentle cycle, but don't expect it to stay show-room clean after a season of hive inspections.
