Humble Bee 110 Goatskin Beekeeping Gloves with Extended Sleeves

I don’t have bees. I have a terrible allergy to Timothy hay and that is what my sweet goats eat! It’s awful. The length of these gloves allow me to handle the hay without exposing any skin. Amazing. I know it’s super morbid that the leather is goatskin (don’t tell my girls!), but it’s incredibly soft and supple; not bulky or cumbersome like so many other work gloves. Allows me to use my fingers instead of seemingly trying to work in mittens. They’re beautiful and (also morbid) my goats LOVE being scratched with these gloves, especially on their faces. I know, right? I also love the elastic tension. Not too much. Fabulous product for my needs! : )

Quality seems quite nice for the price and the leather is comfortable. The seams are fairly heavy duty too. I'm a small man (5' 4") and I bought the suit and gloves both in XS. The suit fits perfectly. The gloves, however, seem to run very small in correlation to the suit. I exchanged them for a Small, but may even need a Medium. I'll know when they arrive and update this review. That being said, I may just have rather large, bear-like paws as I am a carpenter by trade and have muscular hands. Basically I'd go up a size if you have "man hands" or paws or abnormally large knuckles or something...

Good Stuff. Fits Well. No stings. One of my hives has gotten a bit feisty lately. I needed a glove upgrade. These are really good. The leather is a little thin, compared to work gloves, but that allows you to have the dexterity you need. While building nucs, I had several stings to the gloves. I could see the stinger stuck in the leather, but I never felt anything. The forearms are not tight at all. There is plenty of room for the sleeves of my ventilated jacket. Sizing is a bit difficult to pin down. Here is what I know: I wear a large in a glove like the Tillman TrueFit. I ordered the XL in the Bee gloves. They are a little loose, but not bad. For me, that is much better than being tight. My hand is about 7.5" from wrist line to the tip of my longest finger.

I am new to bee keeping and don't really like wearing leather gloves, had neoprene garden gloves on and bee stung me on the top of my hand. Had these goat skin gloves on and had bees stingers stuck in them and never felt anything. So for protection they are great. Personally don't like to wear gloves but it beats getting stung. No issues with quality of these gloves. They are hot but they are leather. Ordered xs which worked out fine, gloves need to be snug fitting and your fingers need to reach the tips of gloves so you can grab a hold of frames and handle equipment. Happy with the purchase.

Excellent gloves. I like the extended arm protectionMade of good material.

I've had three pairs of gloves, including the nicest and the not so nice. The Humble Bee company has made an excellent product here. These gloves are supple, but have the coverage to protect your hands. The canvas tops are easy to push up over your suit without a struggle. Their bee suits, which come with their own zipplable bag are also a dream. Great company; fabulous product.

Great gloves but I suggest ordering a size or 2 larger as I had a LOT of trouble getting my hand past the wrist part of the glove. Overall great quality gloves though

They looked pretty durable but they were way too long, came all the way up to my arm pits. I thought my husband could use them but the hand part was too small for him.
