Clur Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 We now have 4 hives (soon to be 5), and our 11 and 8 year olds want to get more involved in their upkeep. We'd like to get them the protective clothing but haven't found anywhere that sells them any less than about £60-£70. Does anyone know of anywhere else that sells kit like this reasonably cheap? The children are both shooting up in height, so I didn't want to spend a fortune, then face having to replace them in a couple of months! Thanks.

Chicken Licken Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 There are some showing on ebay for under £40. I'm guessing that there are cheaper continental beesuits to be had where the customer base must be greater than in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Fragile Planet's are around the £40.00 but quite frankly I wouldn't risk children not being properly protected with a decent suit. I'd go for a size bigger than needed and sell on at your BKA when finished....that's what I did with grand son's suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJuff Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I like the kids suits at Modernbeekeeping.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clur Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 Thanks everyone, I'll take a look. They are getting frustrated at not being more involved and I definitely want them properly protected before they get too stuck in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
