8 Mil Diamond Grip Nitrile Beekeeping Gloves

Leather beekeeping gloves protect your hands, but they can make it hard to feel what you're doing — picking up a frame, nudging bees aside, or catching a queen. These 8 mil nitrile gloves give you far more dexterity than leather while still providing good sting protection, so you can work your hives with a lighter, more precise touch. Key Features Better dexterity than leather: thin enough to feel frames, comb, and bees through the glove, so delicate jobs like handling a queen are easier and gentler. Good sting protection: the heavy 8 mil thickness gives far more sting protection than standard disposable gloves. Raised diamond grip: the textured outer surface makes it easy to grab sticky frames, handle queens, and keep a firm hold on your hive tool. Textured inside to reduce sweat: the inner texture lets air move around your hand, keeping you drier and more comfortable through a long inspection. Built not to tear: durable 8 mil nitrile is much less likely to rip than thinner gloves, so they stay in one piece from the first frame to the last. Hi-visibility orange: easy to spot if one gets set down or dropped in the bee yard. Latex-free and powder-free: no powder residue on your frames, comb, or equipment. Why Not Cheaper Gloves? Thin disposable gloves cost less, but they tear easily on frame corners, hive tools, and burr comb — often partway through an inspection, right when you need them most. These are made to last the whole inspection. Also Handy For Keep a box around for honey extraction, bottling, cleaning equipment, mixing syrup, and other sticky jobs around the honey house.
