Will this jacket protect against bees?

I am not sure. I know bees do not go for WHITE, as per my beekeeper friend. These are not white. BUT, unless the bees were dive-bombing at me I would feel secure in it.

Probably not. It's very loose fitting (floppy) and fine mesh. But if it was laying against bare skin and you were up against an angry heavyweight bee. It's stinger would probably get through.

About the only thing I can find to do a job at less than professional prices

Probably not. Small insects can't get through the mesh, but a bee's stinger could.

I would think so, because the mesh is very fine, however, I can't be absolutely sure since we are relatively bee free.

The vendor that works with amazon had it in wax paper folded. Then in plastic sleeve similar to zip lock w/ zip. Then in 2 big wads of bubble wrap, and then in a bubble wrap mail bag. Plenty of protection. I was amazed they were so perfect. I'd say yes try it. Very light. Hopefully TSA won't make you open or be too rough. The bees themselves are very firm.

I bought this one specifically to keep bees away because the bees were swarming on another First Nature model that had slots but not the yellow ports. This one kept bees away for me here in central Ohio. I like First Nature bird products very much.

Yes..it's more of a full cut jacket. Check out the review on outdoorgearlab.

I have not yet installed the little tips that prevent insects from getting to the nectar, but have not yet had any problems. I have only had it up a few weeks, and suspect I will eventually have to add those guards - especially in late summer when we get yellow jackets.

It must be the material, I have used it to clear out yellow jackets and wasps and have not got stung once. Its a bit awkward to get on at first but well worth it if you have yellow jacket problems each year as do I. Hopes this helps..

No, I use it to cover a fenced in chicken run. It has served the purpose of keeping the hawks from getting them, however, I would have like the netting itself to be smaller because any other type of bird just flies right through.

The footmuff is suitable for very cold weather whereas it appears the cocoon is for more temperate climates. From what I understand the footmuff fits the bee but we have the cameleon so I can't say for sure.

By itself, no. It's just a thin layer of waterproof material (which keeps me 100% dry) but it's not really designed for being a warm jacket...now if you put it over something else you should be good

There is a built-in head net. It zips to the jacket at the collar. Your face/head/neck are all protected. It's big enough to wear a hat underneath.

Unfortunately, no it does not keep the bees away. I have yet to find a solution to keeping the wasps and yellow jackets away from my hummingbird feeders. I have tried moving the feeders to different locations, maybe the bottle neck type feeders are a bit better. The problem with those is that the hummingbirds don't seem to like them either! Good Luck Megan!

I would have to say "no" but we didn't use it but once last year and had no problems with no-see-ums where we were. For keeping out flies, bees, and other bugs it is great. Make sure the bottom makes contact with the ground everywhere so they can't get in.

I'm in an area with both yellow jackets and bees. The product is fine and has not increased activity.

No, it would not protect against sugar ants or any larger kinds of ants. There is no rubber seal around the door for air tightness. In fact, I can fit a credit card through the gap above the top of the door when it's closed. Also, there are two small, pre-cut holes in the back of the box for mounting, which any size ant could fit through.

Yes it will as long as it is closed. When the wind blows the louvers will open, so it is possible for a bee to enter. I have thermostatic control fan mounted behind the louvers and when the fan is on nothing could enter because the fan is really strong. If I did not have the fan i could have a screen behind the louvers which would keep out insects. It seals out water and has weatherstripping on the individual louvers which seals pretty well.

The mesh is about 2" square, so it would keep out larger birds like Jays and Robins. Maybe a small finch could squeak through. I use it as netting to protect my chickens from hawks. I have tried cheaper netting, but this stuff is much better quality and lasts much longer in the sun.
