Sting Stopper™ Olive Green or Beekeeper White Beekeeping Jacket
Why Beekeepers Love Our Bee Jacket:
Extended Fit, Zero Ride-Up: A longer torso design keeps you covered, no matter how you move, a feature we've incorporated since 2018. Tall people, you can thank us later.
Cool, Light & Protective: Triple-layer mesh lets air in and keeps stings out—even if you’re shirtless, which is a huge plus without protective gear.
Custom Built for You: Six Velcro patches let you personalize your jacket with your name, apiary, or even an American or military flag.
Quick On, Quick Off: Wide collar lets you pull it on like a hoodie or zip it traditionally, no more struggling with zippers. Say goodbye to that frustration.
Pocket Game Strong: From magnets to marker sleeves, it's built for real-life beekeeping with spots right where you need them based on the feedback from many beekeepers.
This isn’t just another jacket—it’s your field gear for the high-pressure world of beekeeping. Whether splitting hives or chasing down swarms, the Sting Stopper™ Jacket is built to keep up. Lightweight, breathable, and sting-proof, it’s designed for performance without the bulk.
We’ve tested the others. We’ve felt the gaps, the flaws, the “almost good enoughs.” So we built something better—quietly, carefully, and without cutting corners. And we have been at it for years now. No flash, no gimmicks. Just a jacket that handles the job so well, it disappears into the background… until you need it. Experienced beekeepers are our frequent customers.

5 Stars – Our New Go-To Jackets for Cutouts and Comfort!
These jackets have quickly become a favorite at Foothills Bee Company! The ventilation is outstanding—and will be especially appreciated during our intense North Carolina summers—and a major step up from some of the gear we’ve used in the past.
One of the biggest perks for us, especially being in the cutout business, is the Olive Green color. It’s not only sharp-looking but also much better at hiding the dirt and grime that comes with the job compared to traditional white gear.
I personally prefer the round veil in most situations, but the fencing veil with the front that opens up is a great option and pretty popular with our crew. The overlapping zippers take a little getting used to, but once you do, they’re no problem.
Sizing runs a bit large. For reference, I’m 5’5” and about 185 lbs—I wear a small comfortably, but even the extra small fits me well and doesn’t feel restrictive. We currently have four jackets in rotation (XS, S, and M), and I’ll probably grab another XS soon. It really comes down to personal preference—some folks like a roomier fit, but I’m not trying to feel like the Michelin Man in the bee yard!
All in all, these jackets check every box for us—comfortable, functional, and seem durable. Highly recommend!

Light weight. True to size. Pockets in the right places. I am a fan!
I’ve owned 3 bee jackets that I paid $300 a piece for and were supposed to be top of the line jackets. They worked really well but they had a few issues such as where the two zippers came together caused a gap, elastic wasn’t especially tight allowing beds to crawl up you coat, and the canvas by the wrists was too long so the majority of my stings were there.This jacket fixes all of those issues and more. You know it is a good jacket when you buy it and your wife comes around the corner and says, “Wow, that is a really nice jacket, did you just get that?”ElasticThe elastic around the waist is nice and tight preventing bees from crawling up the jacket.CuffsThe cuffs have Velcro on them which allows me to wear my latex gloves normally and then tightening my cuffs. On my other jackets I had to put the gloves up over the cuffs which would eventually make them break. I use Thickster gloves and they work great with this suit.ZippersThe zippers took a little to get used to because on zipper over zips the other to create a perfect seal around your neck. The zippers are smooth and they come with rings for easy grabbing.VeilI’ve always used fencing veils and that is what this comes with. I really like that you can unzip the veil to get a drink. I sometimes listen to music while working the bees and occasionally my ear bud will fall out so this will make for easy retrieval.SizeI bought a medium jacket. I’m 5’7 and the jacket fits perfectly length wise and isn’t overly bulky.Working in the jacketI have 35 hives so I’m in them almost every day during swarm season inspecting a few a day and I’ve looked through about half of the hives in this suit and no stings. Working in the jacket is comfortable and enjoyable.Final thoughtsI purchased the olive jacket which the color turned out to be really nice. I like everything about the jacket. I’m going to put it through heck over the next few months so I will update if it doesn’t hold up. I think it will and I think this will become my new favorite jacket.
Ordered this Stingstopper in Olive green, once I received it(which was super fast) I had to put it to work. I went out and inspected my hives and the quality gave me that extra level of knowledge in how much protection due to the high quality of materials and craftsmanship. Thanks for what you do.
