Key features of the Sentinel Pro II Beekeeping suit include:

  • Dual security at neck junction
  • Excellent visibility through clear view veil
  • Durable YKK zips
  • Velcro fastening at cuffs
  • Waterproof kneepads
  • Two lined hive tool pockets

Confidence is one of the biggest problems in beekeeping. Bees can sense when you are nervous and having a suit which is virtually sting-proof is a confidence builder.

The Sentinel Pro II Bee Suit created by Old Castle Farm Hives is made from material thicker than the average bee sting, making it unlikely the wearer will be stung.

More information

Old Castle Farm Hives is a family run business with beekeeping experience and expertise.

As a beekeeper on a farm on top of a mountain in Wales it was difficult to get beekeeping supplies on a weekend when I needed them. So, I decided to set up a shop not only to help me but supply other beekeepers in the Neath and Swansea area and across Wales and the UK.

We sell a wide range of beekeeping equipment in our online shop including ready assembled and flat-pack bee hives and hive parts, our exclusive Sentinel Pro clothing range, Konigin extraction equipment and much more. We also have our own Farm Shop, and welcome all visitors.
