Leather Vented Beekeeping Gloves

Our goat skin leather beekeeping gloves provide comfort and protection while working your bees. Goat skin is preferable to other materials as it is durable and allows for dexterity while maneuvering frames in and out of the hive. This supple leather does not dry out or crack when exposed to moisture like other leather can. Gloves are designed to fit snuggly at first and over time they will stretch to provide the perfect fit. The vented, nylon mesh above the hand allow for air to flow in and out, but the holes are not large enough for bees to enter. Upper sleeves are made of a thick, durable canvas and the top of the sleeve is secured with elastic to keep bees from crawling inside the gloves.  Sizing To help you determine what size gloves you'll need, we recommend the following guidelines: 1.    Measure the circumference of your hand.  Wrap a measuring tape around your dominant hand just below the knuckles, excluding your thumb.  2.    Measure the length of your hand from the base
