Apis Tactical Beekeeping Round Hood

Round hood review

When using the round hood, it works fine for srraight-on work around the apiary. However, when looking upwards, i.e. working on a swarm, the hood doesn't stay in place even though it initially fits snugly. Also, when working looking downward, the screen material gets against the face and neck, allowing bees to sting. I've tried wearing a cap to help hold the material away, with little benefit. It seems some type of support on the front of the hood could be integrated into the front of the hood to keep it away from the face and neck.

I just wanted to say I love your equipment however the jacket I got was to short on the waist when I bend down I get stung on the lower back

Needs a bit more L

Got the XL+ and it zips on the jacket fine but it is unbearably tight when snugged down so it’s not flopping all over the place, especially over the hat that was sent along with it. The hat has a loop section of velcro on the top. Why is there no corresponding hook section inside the veil? That would be super handy since the veil is not very accommodating of my 23.5” circumference head. It would also be extremely handy if there was a reinforced hanger loop on top of the veil to hang the whole jacket by. Look great. Keeps the bees off, does not fit my dome.
