I never received the item I ordered and have not been able to make contact with the company despite multiple attempts. I'm currently out over $400.

Shipment was fast and they followed up to see if I was satisfied. I purchased the cowhide gloves to have something that defensive bees couldn't penetrate. I've watched several bees sting them but none... See more

My suit was packed perfectly, easy to put on, high quality, and I was totally successful in my brave backyard yellow jacket extermination. It's definitely important to order two sizes larger than you... See more

About Natural Apiary Beekeeping Supplies

Written by the company

We aim to improve our local environment, ensuring that our green areas remain green, and plants pollinated, by promoting coexistence with nature through beekeeping.

We want everyone to become a beekeeper and never quit because we realize that when you start keeping bees, you increase your awareness of the importance of conserving the natural environment.

The two main reasons for people never taking up beekeeping and quitting beekeeping are, firstly, the fear of being stung or constantly being stung. Secondly, the collapse of bee colonies, we purposely focus on beekeeper safety and bee health.

Since 2014 we have continually improved the safety of our protective clothing and enriched the nutritional value of our bee feed.

By keeping beekeepers safe, supporting bees’ health, reinvesting into initiatives that help promote beekeeping. Beekeepers can get the most out of their beekeeping journey and continue to help pollinate our crops and keep our planet alive.

Bee Safe, Bee Healthy, Bee Our Future

This is my second suit from Natural Apiary.. their great!! My first one I had to duct tape some burn holes from my smoker.. which was my fault.. but the suit never caught on fire!! Very few stings. I got a medium. I’m 5’5” and 145 lbs. and fits over jeans and long sleeves well with room to spare. And shipping was really fast even with the Covid 19.

Although the bee suit I purchased was the second extra small suit that I bought, the first one fit perfectly but this purchase was much too long for me. I was disappointed.

Excellent product.

Was emailed by rep to tell me they were working on my suit. It came quickly. Isn't cheap, but the quality is extremely good. Was using it today as a matter of fact, and the last cheap one I had simply couldn't compare.

Fives Stars, but....

Fives Stars is for the quality of the suits and veils, they are well made, the Customer Service is very good too, but not so much for their shipping department, they need better people, 1st try, they sent the wrong size, 2nd try they got it right, but was missing one of the veils, they did send it out right away after I contacted their CS. They have quality beekeeping suits no doubt, hopefully by now they have improved their shipping staff.

The Postal Service has so far experienced minor operational impacts in the United States as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. They do continue to have a temporary suspension of the guarantee on Priority Mail which has been effective since Monday, Feb. 10, 2020. In addition, customers may see delays in mail and packages. The Postal Service is undertaking all reasonable measures to minimize the impact to customers.

The jacket is perfect

The jacket is perfect. I usually buy a medium in t-shirts, but by following the sizing chart provided, I purchased an X-small. It fit perfectly. Even with everything in life shipping slowly due to the pandemic, it arrived pretty quickly. Easy and a great experience. Much easier to manage and sufficient.

As a new beekeeper this is my first suit. I wore it for the first time the other day when my package of bees arrived and I felt well protected in my suit and gloves. The mesh was easy to see through and the fit was perfect. I am 5’1” and petite. The xtra small was perfect as it wasn’t too big and I have room to layer if ever necessary. I would purchase products from this company again.
