Reviewing Swienty Breeze Beekeeping Suit

  I bought the same suit towards the end of last year and decided to wring the last bit of life out of my old suit before breaking this one in for real, so I haven't really used mine much yet. What I really do like about it is the drawstring around the waist on the inside of the suit, with little spring-loaded toggles on either end. This means that you can afford to get a roomy size to easily get in and out of the suit, and then adjust the waist drawstring for a good fit before you zip it up. It does seem to be a bit heavy but I will happily live with that for the benefit of ventilation. In the old suit my t-shirt is always soaked after a round of inspection during the hot summer days, making me feel as if I had just run a marathon, so I am really looking forward to starting this season off in my new suit.

  To my untrained and none expert eye this looks an excellent suit - loose fitting and easy to move in, and seems to be protecting you from getting stung. Keep up the good work, l’m loving the honey - I will be re-ordering.

  The only thing that they could have added is a velcro tab to help prevent any mishaps with bees getting in through the zips on the hood where they meet together other then that it looks like a great suit.

  I prefer to work with just a vail on in most of my apiaries, oh, and netting in my shorts. I don’t mind stings on my arms and legs as I like to keep up my immunity.  The horror stories I hear where beekeepers end up in hospital seem to be where there has been a build up of K protein and the Beekeeper who always wears a full suit (so never gets stung) then one day gets stung and that’s when the body over reacts.  Also, the advantage of not wearing a vail means you can hold your hive tool between your teeth 😬 and eat honey mid inspection. Each to their own though, but I definitely think it’s good to get a few stings periodically. More importantly, have you seen any swarm cells yet? I’ve plenty of drone brood so hopefully I’ll be able to do some splits soon to replace my winter losses.

  I really like the veil, but it looks a bit long in the body, as according to Swienty, the reinforced portion on the front across your hips &amp; wedding tackle is to protect the suit when carrying heavy, full boxes etc, looking at you in that you&apos;d need to bend to make use of it. lol<br><br>anyway this was at the start of the season, &nbsp;now we&apos;re nearing the end have you anything further to add regarding the Swienty Breeze suit.<br><br>Yes I&apos;m looking to buy ANOTHER suit, &amp; I&apos;m stuck between this &amp; another like the one vented full suit I have already. as well as two vented smocks..

  Diolch am y review, this certainly looks like a really good bee suit. I am thinking of getting this suit from your store as I am just getting too many stings to make it enjoyable now, and I am finding each time I am getting worse reactions. &nbsp;My hand is all swollen up today from one sting and my face is also pretty bad too! &nbsp;Stings never used to be a problem for me but for some reason they have been the last couple years.
