Sting Stopper Kids Ventilated Beekeeping Suit
Sting Stopper Kids Ventilated Beekeeping Suit
Kids get hot faster than adults during hive inspections, and a suit that's too warm means a cranky, distracted beekeeper-in-training. This suit uses the same triple-layer ventilated material as our adult ventilated suits, sized down for kids, so your child stays protected without overheating.
Key Features
- Triple-layer ventilated material: the same sting-proof construction as our adult suits, not a lighter-duty kids version.
- Round veil with elevated hat: full panoramic visibility during inspections.
- Triple overlapping zippers with a veil lock: no gaps where bees can get in.
- Elastic and velcro wrist/ankle cuffs: sealed openings at every entry point.
- YKK zippers throughout, plus pockets for gloves, a hive tool, or whatever else your kid insists on bringing to the bee yard.
Size Guide
The best fit comes from two measurements, not age alone: torso (crotch to top of shoulder) and total height. Measure both and find the size where your child fits both columns — take your kid's build into account if they fall between two sizes.
| Size | Torso (A) | Height (B) | Approx. Age |
|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 17-21" | 44-48" | 3-6 |
| S | 20-22" | 48-52" | 4-7 |
| M | 21-23" | 52-56" | 6-9 |
| L | 22-24" | 56-60" | 8-11 |
Age is a rough guide only — a tall 7-year-old at 55" typically wears a Medium, while an average 7-year-old closer to 48" would wear a Small. Go by torso and height first.
What to Watch For
This is a beige suit, and beige shows dirt and propolis stains. It washes fine on a gentle cycle, but don't expect it to stay show-room clean after a season of hive inspections.
