The Be Noble White Ultralight Bee Jacket — Two Veils, One Jacket, Total Flexibility
Why choose between a round veil and a fencing veil when you can have both? The Be Noble white bee jacket ships with both veil styles included — swap between them depending on your task, your mood, or your visibility preference. Built from ultralight 3-layer ventilated mesh, this jacket is the lightest, coolest option in our lineup, perfect for long summer inspections.
Why Two Veils Beats One
Every beekeeper has veil preferences that change depending on the job:
- Round veil — best for long inspections, wide visibility, keeps mesh off your face
- Fencing veil — best for quick tasks, zip-open front lets you drink or scratch without removing the hood
Instead of buying two separate jackets, the Be Noble two-veil jacket gives you both attachments in a single purchase — swap in seconds depending on what your hive work calls for.
Why Choose the Be Noble White Ultralight Bee Jacket?
1. Two Veils Included — Round AND Fencing
Both veil styles use the same universal attachment point on the jacket collar. Zip on the round veil for wide-visibility inspections, or the fencing veil for quick tasks requiring face access.
2. Ultralight 3-Layer Mesh Construction
This is our lightest jacket fabric — three layers of ventilated mesh that weigh noticeably less than our standard ventilated line, while maintaining full sting protection. Perfect for hot climates and long inspection days.
3. Heavy-Duty Metal Zippers
Full metal zipper construction (not plastic) for maximum durability. Each zipper includes a protective flap to prevent bees from sneaking through the seam.
4. White Color for Maximum Cooling
White reflects sunlight rather than absorbing it, and it’s scientifically the calmest color for bees — they associate dark colors with predators like bears and skunks.
5. Elastic Cuffs and Waist Seal
Elastic at the wrists and waist locks out bees completely, while thumb loops keep sleeves from riding up during overhead reaching or frame lifting.
6. Unisex Sizing (S–4XL)
Fits men and women true to your normal sweatshirt size. View our complete size guide here.
Who Should Buy This Jacket?
- Beekeepers Who Want Flexibility: Switch veil styles depending on the task without buying separate gear.

How to Choose the Right Size
Bee jackets run true to your normal sweatshirt size. Size up if you plan to wear it over thicker layers. The University of Minnesota Bee Lab recommends loose-fitting protective gear for safer inspections.
