Story of Beebay Darenteed
For over a decade, I’ve been captivated by the world of bees. It all started 12 years ago when a man named Michael Roberts—an outspoken yet brilliant beekeeper—introduced me to the art of beekeeping. Michael’s mentorship was the beginning of my journey, and I owe him a great deal for sparking an obsession that has shaped my life.
Back then, I knew very little about bees, but I was eager to learn. In fact, after just three weeks of beekeeping, I found myself moving 14 hives across Worthing—a 9-mile journey—packed into a Peugeot 206. It was exhilarating, nerve-wracking, and incredibly rewarding. I even removed my first two swarms with nothing but guidance from a phone call!
However, there was one challenge that constantly frustrated me and many other beekeepers: the unbearable heat inside traditional bee suits. After just an hour, it felt like I was melting inside the suit, and this discomfort often distracted from the joy of working with bees.
Seven years into my beekeeping journey, an idea struck me—a vision of a suit that would not only keep me cool but also repel bees in a way no other suit could. I spent years developing what would become my perfect bee suit. This suit is unique—it self-propels bees away, almost as if they’re bouncing off its surface. Walking into a swarm of 10,000 angry bees, I stood firm, waiting for the sting that never came.
What makes this suit even more remarkable is its ability to self-regulate body temperature, ensuring that beekeepers no longer suffer from the heat. After rigorous testing, it performed exactly as I had envisioned. Now, backed by scientific evidence, my bee suit stands out as not just a tool but a revolutionary piece of beekeeping gear.
I’ve documented this transformation, even taking apart a double brood box while wearing the suit, and not a single bee landed on me. The perfect bee suit is here—and it’s built for beekeepers like me, who are passionate about their craft and deserve comfort and safety while doing what they love.
