How to Wash Your Beekeeping Suit (Without Ruining It)
Let's be honest…beekeeping is messy. Between propolis, wax, honey, smoke, dirt, pollen, and sweat, your bee suit works hard right alongside you. After a few hive inspections, it's easy for your suit to start showing the signs of a job well done. The good news is, cleaning your bee suit doesn't have to be complicated.
Your Bee Suit Should Be Easy to Care For
One of Jenna's goals while designing the Sunny Suit was simple: to create protective gear that women would actually enjoy wearing and that was easy to care for.
Many beekeepers have experienced the frustration of gear that feels delicate or difficult to clean. After all, if you're spending time in the apiary, your suit is going to get dirty.
That's exactly what it's designed for.
Machine Washable by Design
The Jeometry Beewear™ Sunny Suit is machine washable, making cleanup after a busy day in the bee yard simple.
Its durable construction and thoughtfully selected materials are designed to stand up to repeated washing while maintaining the comfort, protection, and fit you've come to expect.
Why Washing Your Suit Matters
Keeping your bee suit clean isn't just about appearance. Regular washing helps remove sticky propolis, sweat, dirt, and lingering smoke odors while keeping your suit fresh and comfortable for your next hive inspection. A clean suit also makes every trip to the apiary a little more enjoyable.
Designed for Real Beekeeping
Every detail of the Sunny Suit was created with real beekeepers in mind, from its breathable mesh construction to its women-specific fit and durable materials. Beekeeping is demanding enough…your gear shouldn't be.
