Ventilated Goatskin Beekeeping Gloves (Short-Cuff, Mechanics-Style)
Stay cool, keep your grip, and reduce stings. These Apis Tactical™ gloves pair a patented ventilated, sting-resistant back made from custom-molded SBR mesh with a high-grade goatskin palm and fingers. The result is a lightweight, flexible glove that breathes extremely well while offering superior sting protection—even when you’re gripping frames, tools, or bending your hand.
Why Beekeepers Love Them
-
Sting Protection that Breathes – The custom-molded ventilated mesh back is sting-resistant so a bee’s stinger is less likely to reach skin, while the open structure dumps heat fast for hot-weather comfort.
-
Unmatched Dexterity – Fine goatskin in the fingertips and palm preserves feel for delicate tasks: marking queens, handling small parts, writing notes, and quick hive repairs.
-
Stay Cool, Sting-Free – Breathable ventilation with large airflow holes keeps hands cooler on long days in the apiary.
-
High Dexterity, Low Bulk – Mechanics-style, short-cuff design fits snug (by design) without feeling bulky or cumbersome.
-
Durable Materials – Premium goatskin + SBR rubber mesh deliver long-lasting performance for commercial and hobby beekeepers alike.
Fit & Sizing
These gloves are intentionally snugger than traditional beekeeping gloves (similar to modern mechanic gloves) to maximize dexterity.
