What is GOTS organic cotton?

What’s good for the bees is good for us and that’s why we choose organic cotton. Cotton for our organic textiles range is grown without synthetic fertilisers or pesticides, and no toxic chemicals are used in the fiber spinning and fabric weaving process. This is good news for the bees, the farmers and the makers, and for the beekeeping families wearing our Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified Toddler, Kids, and Adult Bee Suits and mesh veils.

Do you have children's size beekeeping suits?

We have protective wear in all sizes to accommodate all members of the family, including children's size beekeeping suits and toddler's size beekeeping suits.
