The face mesh bee hat is the most widely used in beekeeping production. The top of the hat is white cloth, canvas, straw hat, bamboo hat, etc. It is durable and can be replaced when the face net is broken. The advantages of this kind of bee cap are that it is simple, cheap and easy to carry. The disadvantage is that the mesh in the black part of the surface mesh is thicker, which affects the vision, especially when the light conditions are not good such as cloudy days and shades, it is very difficult to find the queen bee and observe the egg laying situation in the nest. If it is used to extract honey from bees, bees can easily enter the cap from the gaps on both sides of the chest when bending over.

Therefore, the face mesh bee hat is suitable for extensive management work such as passing the box, transporting, and feeding the bee colony without the need to find the queen bee and lay eggs. When in use, the 2 ropes tied to the waist can be reversed left and right and tied behind the back. The face net on the chest forms an "X"-shaped cross, so that the face net is more closely attached to the chest, which can effectively prevent bees when bending over.

The disadvantage is that it is relatively troublesome to wear. The material of the face net is plastic. After long-term exposure to the sun, the plastic face net is easy to become brittle and rupture, and it is not easy to replace the face net after it is worn out.

The bee-style bee-cap connects the top and the hat into one, there is a zipper under the black gauze on the face, the hat can be put on the back, and the head can be extended from the zipper. There are elastic bands on the cuffs and the lower edge of the jacket, which can prevent bees from burrowing into the clothes from the cuffs or the lower edge of the clothes and stinging people. However, the quality of the rubber bands equipped with bee coats produced by general manufacturers is poor, and the rubber bands will age and fail within a few days, and you need to replace them with stronger rubber bands. When it is used to remove bees and take honey, even if there are elastic bands on the lower edge of the clothes, due to repeated squatting and bending, it is easy for the bees to burrow into the clothes from the lower edge of the clothes, or directly sting the exposed part of the back waist. Therefore, when using the bee clothes to shake the bees to get honey, it is necessary to tie a rubber band or rope around the waist outside the bee clothes at the waist to prevent the bees from entering the clothes.

The one-piece Bee Suit is to connect the bee hat, bee-proof clothes and bee-proof pants together, and the cuffs of the pants have elastic elastic ropes to prevent bees from entering the Bee Suit. The one-piece Bee Suit is very suitable for taking off bees and taking honey, which can effectively prevent the bees from shaking off the ground and climbing their legs into the clothes. However, for other management of the colony, it is more troublesome to wear the one-piece bee jacket, and it is also more stuffy to wear in the high temperature in summer.
