WE ARE BUILDING A BETTER BEEKEEPING SUIT FOR WOMEN

Our founder Jennifer York has won a 2024 research grant from the South Carolina Beekeeping Association to reinvent the beekeeper’s suit for women! Jen will use her 20+ years’ experience producing Jennythreads, 8 years keeping bees, and INPUT from fellow women beekeepers to create a functional suit that works for real women. From there, she will work with the Carolina Textile District to pursue production of the suit domestically in the United States.

WOMEN BEEKEEPERS, YOU CAN HELP!

Join our interest e-list and contribute your input as Jenna develops this idea from sketch to reality. We need your participation in upcoming surveys, brainstorming sessions, and in-person fit-and-focus meetings to design with YOU in mind. Because when your gear keeps you comfortable and calm in the apiary, your bees are happier, and we are closer to SAVING THE BEES.

Please visit Jenna at the SCBA Spring Conference February 23-24, Columbia, SC to talk bees and suits.
