VIVO BEE-V105 Beekeeping Jacket with Veil

Brand: VIVO DESK-V000B

A pull over smock in white cotton blend with a self supporting round veil. No front zip on the body, the jacket goes over the head, and the veil zips around the collar. Elastic waist and cuffs, straps under the arms, a couple of pockets. Sizes run from medium to 2XL, and it is one of the cheapest jackets sold on both Amazon and Walmart.

A sensible buy for a visitor, a photographer at the apiary or a second jacket for a friend who helps at harvest. It is not a suit: legs need thick trousers and boots. The fabric is thin, so bees reach skin where it stretches over the shoulders, and the pull over cut is awkward to remove when hands are sticky.
