Best Beekeeping Gloves

 

1. What are the benefits of using Beekeeping Gloves ?

Beekeeping gloves protect your hands from stings to keep you safe from getting infected. Their thick layers act as a shield against those poisonous bees hovering around you. Also, these gloves extend past your wrist nicely to give you complete coverage and not leave a spot open for a sting.

2. Can bees sting bee gloves?

The tighter your gloves fit, the more dexterity you will have, but there is a tradeoff, snug gloves are easier for bees to sting through. Usually though, when a bee stings through the glove, it is not quite as bad as a normal sting. I call them “micro stings” because the stinger may not get all the way through.

3. Can honey bees sting through latex gloves? 

They are thin, and the bees can definitely sting through them; however, because of the nature of the material, the bees usually rarely attempt to sting them. When I wear leather gloves, defensive bees will readily sting.
