Why Choose Us
Easy ordering process, quality products, and dedicated support for your business success.
At HONESTBEE, we supply professional-grade apiary equipment designed for reliability and safety. Our Pith Style Beekeeper Hat is a specialized, rigid headpiece engineered specifically to function as the structural base for folding square veils and box veils. Unlike soft sun hats that can sag under the weight of mesh or humidity, this sturdy beekeeper hat ensures maximum clearance between the protective netting and the beekeeper's face, making it a staple for commercial operations.

Durable Hardened Paper Construction
While it maintains the classic aesthetic of a safari or pith helmet, this hat is crafted from high-quality, compressed natural paper. This material choice offers a unique combination of benefits for the professional beekeeper:
- Rigid Structure: The paper material is hardened to hold its shape permanently. The brim (approximately 7cm wide) remains stiff, which is the most critical feature. It acts as a scaffold to support the weight of a separate face veil, ensuring the mesh never collapses against the nose or ears—a common cause of stings with inferior gear.


- Lightweight Comfort: despite its hardness, the paper construction is incredibly light, reducing neck strain during long days in the apiary.
- Ventilation: To prevent overheating during strenuous hive inspections, the hat includes six metal grommet eyelets on the crown, promoting cross-flow ventilation to keep the head cool.

Optimized for Use with Bee Veils
While this hat offers excellent sun protection on its own, its primary application in the apiary is to be paired with a square folding veil or box veil.

- Perfect Veil Support: The high dome and stiff brim provide the perfect frame for box veils. It keeps the screen taut and secure, ensuring a 360-degree safety zone around the head.
- Wind Resistance: The rigidity of the beekeeper hat prevents the veil from shifting in the wind, maintaining a consistent line of sight for the beekeeper when handling frames.
Adjustable Fit and Secure Design
We have engineered this hat to fit a wide range of users comfortably, ensuring it stays in place during active work.
- Adjustable Internal Headband: Inside the helmet, a Velcro-adjustable sweatband allows the wearer to customize the fit. It accommodates head circumferences from 56cm to 60cm, making it a versatile "one-size-fits-most" solution that simplifies inventory for wholesalers.

- Secure Chin Strap: A durable brown faux-leather chin strap acts as a secure anchor. This is essential for preventing the hat (and the attached veil) from being blown off during gusty weather or when bending over hive boxes.


Value for Wholesalers and Distributors
For beekeeping supply shops, this beekeeper hat is an essential inventory item. It allows you to offer a complete "head protection system" by bundling this hat with your range of square veils. Its robust construction ensures a long shelf life and high customer satisfaction compared to floppy straw hats that wear out quickly.
