UVBee™ Beekeeping Pants

The fabric sis so soft and comfortable. Finally I have a suit the I can wear short sleeves and shorts with and feel comfortable. I never got one sting even though I worked my 11 colonies without smoke and they did get upset once it got late afternoon.

I’ve yet to use these as I’ve battened down the hatches for a winter in OR. BUT, I can say I’m thoroughly impressed. I’ve had other pullovers and jackets, which were fine, AKA industry standard as in quickly manufactured overseas as cheaply as possible. They’ve just been part of the uniform without thinking too much about comfort, usability, or design.

I didn't realize how poorly designed they were until I stopped by Bella Beek to try on a pair. Assorted patterns were hanging up, various product sketches and prototypes lying around, as well as garment design publications which highlighted the design sensibilities that went into these garments. Attention was given to the fit, construction, and purpose and it’s clear just from looking at the jacket and pants.

In terms of comfort, I’ve only worn these around the house, but I kinda want them to be my PJ’s. The fabric choice is soft and flexible and the fit is measured as in not just a S, M, L, or XL cube that’s been scaled down. Proportions are fantastic.

Anyways, if beekeeping doesn't work out for Bella Beek, then I’m sure product Mandy has a future in apparel design.
