The Gold Standard: Supple Sheepskin Beekeeping Gloves

Handle your frames with confidence. Our Supple Sheepskin Beekeeping Gloves BBE-SBG-02 offer the perfect balance of protection and dexterity.

The long-sleeve canvas gauntlet is ventilated for comfort and features an elastic cuff to create a sting-proof seal. This is the essential Beekeeper Glove for both beginners and pros.

The Practitioner’s Choice for Dexterity and Protection

Stop using clumsy, thick cowhide gloves that make you crush bees or fumble with your hive tool. As experienced practitioners, we know dexterity is just as important as protection. The industry gold standard for this is Goatskin Beekeeping Gloves, but we have engineered our gloves with premium Sheepskin because it offers an exceptionally supple, “broken-in” feel right out of the box. You’ll be able to confidently pick up a queen, feel the edge of a frame, and work your hive tool with precision.

We pair the durable leather hand with a heavy-duty, long-sleeve cotton canvas gauntlet. This is a ventilated beekeeping glove design: the breathable canvas allows heat and moisture to escape, keeping you cool during long, hot inspections. The elastic cuff provides a secure, sting-proof seal at your wrist, ensuring no bees can crawl in. This is the ultimate Beekeeper Glove for performance and comfort.

Case Spotlight: North American Distributor Doubles Glove Sales

A major US distributor switched their primary Beekeeping Gloves supplier to BuzzBeeEquip. Their previous cowhide gloves were clumsy and had high complaint rates. By stocking our Supple Sheepskin Gloves, they tapped into the “pro-hobbyist” demand for dexterity. They saw a 40% reduction in negative reviews and a 2x increase in repeat-purchase velocity, as customers preferred the “broken-in” feel. They now private-label our OEM beekeeping gloves as their premium line.

 

Find Your Perfect Fit: A Glove for Every Hand

Glove fit is critical for dexterity. A glove that’s too large is clumsy, but one that’s too small will fatigue your hands. Our unisex design is available in three standard sizes.

• L (Large): Best for average-sized male hands or larger female hands.
• XL (Extra Large): Our most common size, fits larger male hands comfortably.
• XXL (Extra-Extra Large): Designed for maximum room and for those with very large hands.

As practitioners, we recommend a snug fit for sheepskin gloves. The leather is engineered to stretch slightly and form to your hand over time for a custom fit.

 

Complete Your Apiary Kit

• Ventilated Beekeeping Suit: The ultimate in protection. Our 3-layer mesh suits pair perfectly with these gloves for a cool, sting-proof system.
• Stainless Steel Hive Tool (J-Hook): The essential multi-tool for prying frames and scraping propolis.
• Bee Smoker with Heat Guard: Calm your bees before every inspection. A calm hive is a safe hive.

Your Questions Answered by Our Experts

Q1: What’s the difference between sheepskin and goatskin gloves?

Both are excellent for dexterity. We find our premium sheepskin is exceptionally soft and supple, offering a “broken-in” feel faster. Both are superior to cowhide for feeling your work.

Q2: Are these gloves sting-proof?

The leather and heavy canvas are highly sting-resistant. The key safety feature is the long-sleeve design and elastic cuff, which create a secure seal to prevent bees from crawling inside.

Q3: What is the best material for beekeeping gloves?

For dexterity, sheepskin and goatskin are the industry gold standard. For maximum protection (but low dexterity), cowhide is used. We engineer our gloves for dexterity.

Q4: How do I clean propolis off my gloves?

Propolis is tough. We recommend not machine washing, as it makes leather stiff. Many practitioners freeze the gloves and then crack/scrape the propolis off.

Q5: Are these ventilated?

Yes. The heavy-duty cotton canvas sleeve (gauntlet) is breathable, providing ventilation to your arms to keep you cooler than a full leather sleeve.

Q6: What size should I get?

Refer to our sizing chart. We offer L, XL, and XXL. A snug fit is best, as the sheepskin will stretch and form to your hand for a custom feel.

Q7: What is your MOQ for wholesale beekeeping gloves?

Our standard B2B packing is 100 pairs per carton. We offer lead times for orders from 1-200 pairs, and our wholesale pricing becomes highly competitive for larger bulk orders. Contact us for a quote.

Q8: Can I get these with my company’s logo?

Yes. OEM beekeeping gloves are a core part of our business. We offer logo and packaging customization, though minimum orders (starting at 200+ for basic logo, 20,000 for full graphic) apply.

Q9: What is the warranty?

These gloves are backed by a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects.

Q10: What payment terms do you accept?

We accept T/T, L/C, Western Union, and PayPal for sample orders. Our standard B2B term is a 30% deposit and 70% balance against the Bill of Lading.
