Ever had trouble spotting your queen or confidently identifying larvae when looking through the mesh of your bee suit hood?
Flow's newest innovation, the Clear View Hood is designed to give you the best possible vision when up close with your colony.
A new type of bee suit visor, the Clear View Hood features clear PVC for viewing and mesh on the bottom third to optimise ventilation, keeping the beekeeper cool while having amazingly clear vision.
The hood is manufactured from a combination of 3-layer mesh and GOTS organic cotton to increase airflow while offering the best in sting prevention.
The Clear View Face Panel zips out to remove and replace with an alternate mesh panel according to your needs:
The Clear View Hood comes in 2 versions to ensure all who love our Flow Bee Suit range can wear it.
Version 1: The ring pull on the zipper is attached to the hood. Compatible with our current bee suit range and all suits manufactured after 2017
Version 2: The ring pull on the zipper is attached to the suit. Compatible with all suits manufactured before 2017, however, is NOT compatible with our founding supporter suits (made from bleached white cotton). Please contact our support team if you wish to purchase a version 2 clear view hood.
Please note: The product is not suitable for our range of children's or toddler's bee protection items.
This product needs to be used in conjunction with an existing bee suit and does not offer adequate sting prevention as a stand-alone product.
For years, my girls (the bees, not children) had perfected the art of sneak attacks. They’d wait until the netting of my bee suit brushed ever so slightly against my face, then …zing! I’d be sporting a swollen lip or a puffy nose for a week. It became something of a ritual: their weekly reminder of who’s really in charge around here. Enter the Flow Hive Clear View Bee Suit Hood. This thing is a game-changer. The clear visor means no more surprise “bee kisses” through the mesh. Now, when my ladies get cross with me, all I hear are the most delightful little pings on the plastic, like tiny bee-sized protest taps. My face stays sting-free, my vision is crystal clear, and my dignity remains intact. In short: the bees can be mad, but they can’t get me. 5 stars…would recommend!
I really looked forward to receiving my new Flow Bees Suit hood nothing else compares with the quality and style of the hood I feel very protected having had a really aggro Queen that produced very attacking bees. Even the president of the bee club and her assistant were attacked and stung by the offspring, they just would not give up. I now have a new Queen who is passive and her ladies are a pleasure to look after. Very happy and contented now thank you for the standard of equipment you provide to happy bee keepers. Regards Col reynolds.
I absolutely love my Flow Hive clear view vail and jacket!!!
The new hood is so much better for a close up inspection on the Brood box. When you are looking for problems it makes the job so much easier. If doing normal bee stuff I will use the old net hood especially in summer. I am a new Bee Keeping, not a bee haver.
