360° Visibility — No Side Blind Spots

During a hive inspection, what’s happening at the corner of your eye matters. A frame is being placed beside you. A guard bee is approaching from your blind spot. A child or curious dog wandering near the apiary. Peripheral vision is safety — and it’s the single biggest advantage of a round hat veil over a fencing veil. The OZ ARMOUR Pink 3 Layer Mesh Ventilated Beekeeping Jacket with Round Hat Veil gives you uninterrupted 360-degree awareness while keeping every part of the mesh well away from your face — all in a beautifully designed pink jacket that stands out at any apiary.

Built with the same 3-layer ventilated mesh that defines our premium range — thicker than a bee stinger’s length — plus YKK nylon zippers, reinforced twill-tape stitching, and metallic Italian mesh veiling, this jacket delivers full sting protection, all-day breathability, and exceptional situational awareness thanks to the round-brim hat design. Available in XXS to XXL with optional matching gloves at checkout.

What’s a Round Hat Veil?

A round hat veil is a classic beekeeping veil design, built around a circular, wide-brimmed hat that supports the mesh on all sides. The hat’s rigid, round brim holds the veil evenly away from your face in every direction — not just front-and-back like some other veil styles. The mesh drapes from the brim around your head and neck, attaching securely to the jacket below. The result is a fully enclosed, evenly-spaced mesh shield that protects you from every angle while preserving your view of the world.

Why Does Peripheral Vision Matter So Much?

Beekeeping is a three-dimensional, multi-tasking activity. At any moment, you’re tracking the bees on the frame in front of you, the bees flying around your head, the bees landing on the equipment beside you, and sometimes a colony from a neighbouring hive that’s decided to investigate. Losing awareness of what’s happening at your sides can lead to surprises — unexpected stings, knocking over equipment, or simply missing important signals your colony is trying to send you.

Fencing veils, while excellent in many ways, can restrict your peripheral view because the rigid front insert focuses your vision forward. A round hat veil preserves clear sight lines in every direction — you can glance left, right, behind, even up at flying bees without the mesh moving relative to your face. For working with multiple hives, supervising others, teaching beekeeping, or just feeling more aware in the apiary, full peripheral awareness is genuinely valuable.

Round Hat Veil vs Fencing Veil — Which Should I Pick?

Both are excellent designs, and many beekeepers own both for different situations. Here’s how they compare:

  • Round hat veil: Best for peripheral vision, multi-hive work, teaching, and beekeepers who want maximum situational awareness
  • Fencing veil: Best for close inspection work, queen catching, and beekeepers who prefer a more compact, attached design
  • Round hat veil: Slightly bulkier but with a more open feeling around your head
  • Fencing veil: Lower profile but more focused forward-facing view
  • Both: Use the same premium 3-layer mesh, same OZ ARMOUR construction, same metallic Italian mesh — protection is equivalent

How Does the 3-Layer Mesh Stop Stings?

Sting protection is the core job of any beekeeping jacket, and 3-layer ventilated mesh is specifically engineered for this. A honey bee’s stinger is only 1.5–2 mm long — short enough that ordinary thin fabrics can’t reliably stop it from reaching skin. The combined thickness of our 3 mesh layers exceeds the length of a bee stinger, meaning even a determined stinger attempt cannot reach the skin beneath.

The three layers work together: an outer layer absorbs the initial impact, a middle layer provides an essential air gap, and an inner layer provides a final barrier. The structure also allows continuous airflow through the jacket — hot air escapes outward, and cooler air flows inward through the same fabric that’s protecting you. You stay genuinely cooler than in any cotton suit, and the breathability is a comfort game-changer in Australian summers.

Why Pink — Beyond Just Style?

Pink isn’t just about looking good (although it does — the colour photographs beautifully and is genuinely fun to wear). It’s also highly visible — useful at club apiaries, workshops, group hive visits, and any setting where you’re working alongside others. Pink is also a welcoming, approachable colour for new beekeepers, women entering the hobby, and gift-buyers looking for something thoughtful and different. And it makes a clear visual statement that you’re a beekeeper who values both function AND beauty in their gear — something the beekeeping world is becoming more comfortable with every year.

What Premium Details Should I Look For?

This is where OZ ARMOUR genuinely outperforms cheaper jackets:

  • Metallic Italian mesh on the veil — stronger and more sting-resistant than generic veil fabrics
  • YKK Nylon Zippers — smoother and longer-lasting than brass; won’t corrode or seize up
  • Double sliders on every zipper — easy access to internal pockets and bathroom convenience
  • Overlap neck zipper — the neck zips overlap, so bees can’t find an entry point
  • Front zipper flap — protective flap covers the main zipper for added string security
  • Twill tape stitching — reinforced at stress points; prevents seam failures
  • High SPI (stitches per inch) — stronger seams that handle years of use
  • Rayon reinforcement — on pockets and knee pads for high-wear longevity

Is It Easy to Put On and Take Off?

Genuinely, yes. The front-zip design with double sliders lets you put the jacket on like any other jacket — no awkward step-in or pull-over routines. The round hat veil sits comfortably on your head without needing adjustment, and the veil zip attaches cleanly to the jacket below. Velcro and elastic wrist closures let you fine-tune the fit so bees can’t enter at the cuffs. The whole jacket goes on or off in well under a minute — much faster than a full suit — making it perfect for quick hive checks, mid-day inspections, and anyone who wants to get into and out of their gear efficiently.

Who Loves a Round Hat Veil?

This jacket is especially loved by beekeepers who want maximum awareness around their hives. It’s perfect for club beekeepers and instructors running group hive visits where you need to track multiple people, beekeepers managing 3+ hives in one apiary who need to monitor activity from several sources at once, beekeepers with families who appreciate being able to keep an eye on children or pets nearby, and anyone who finds fencing veils too restrictive for their preferred working style. The pink colour also makes it a genuine favourite among women beekeepers and gift buyers wanting something thoughtful and beautiful.

Essential History for Retaining Reason and Rationality for Guiding the Nation
Awesome book on the History of people, themes and big money, corporate used in an attempt to make one religion the National Religion while neutering the First Amendment. It is true to it's title in detailing how Corporations and Religion came together to fight the New Deal of FDR. These two self serving entities fought for control of the people but did almost nothing to avert wide spread hunger and homelessness in the depression. The fortunes of corporations and insistence of religions on controlling the minds of people to produce jobs in their own occupations outweighed the immediate needs of the jobless and homeless. The opulent lifestyles of the big religions and their organizers came first over the health and welfare of the country, just like it had in Medieval Europe, where the Aristocrats and the Christian Churches ran the Continent. These two institutions were responsible for keeping Democracy out of Europe and ultimately creating the Soviet Revolutions in Russia that attempted to spread to the rest of the World. What is clear, from many books on this subject, that "Under God" means being subservient to God, the word of which comes from God's messengers. Subservience Under God means that when the opinions of the People differ from those of God as told through the Messenger, then God wins and the People Shut Up. Those that don't face stiff penalties. Fabulous History that everyone should know if they want to perpetuate a Democracy. The Roman Empire was "One Nation Under God", because the Christian Religion was the only legal Religion and it had only One God - no others were allowed and this was enforced with the sword. Rome will return to America if we are not careful.

Stranded on third base
Format: Hardcover
Prof. Kruse wanders away from the promise of the subtitle of his book--"How corporate America Invented Christian America." He almost gets there when he describes the ideological opposition of the wealthy to F.D.R's "New Deal." and their caricature of the "social gospel" as Communist propaganda. His description of Truman's encounter with Billy Graham is wonderful. For a book published in 2015, Kruse makes only slight mention of the fact that the politics of money and religion in contemporary times becomes more pernicious every day. The main body of the book drifts into redundant detail about "who prayed with who" and the spiritual influence of prominent evangelists on presidents from Eisenhower to Bush with only faint reference to their ties with the Capitalist agenda. He portrays wealthy Christians as true religious zealots when, in fact, they and many of the politicians they supported were likely hypocrites using religion as a wedge issue to increase their power and pursue their agenda of unregulated Capitalism. It is remarkable that Kruse entirely fails to mention the Koch brothers--billionaires who bankroll countless ultra right-wing politicians with evangelical agendas, while they, themselves, are apparently Ayn-Rand-style libertarian atheists interested only in a social-Darwinian, Capitalist heaven. Prof. Kruse leaves us stranded on third base, when he could have hit a home run!

Horrific Voter Suppression
Format: Paperback
This is a very well documented book about voter suppression in America. It was interesting to see that before the Jim Crow era, black people voted, were elected to office, got educations and did fairly well. With Jim Crow, horrific voter suppression began (lynchings, etc.). In the early days it was the Southern Democrats and the KKK. As time went on the methods simply became more devious. In the 1930s FDR began attempting to attract black voters to the party. By the end of WWII we had "Dixiecrats". By the time the time the Civil Rights Act was passed, the transition was complete and those Southern Democrats were now members of the GOP. (Much of that bit of history is not in the book, but you'll want to look it up.) The GOP is now the master of voter suppression, and you can see it pretty much everywhere but especially in Georgia, Texas, Minnesota and many southern states. The book is chock full or examples, case histories and stories of resistance. It made me want to sell my house and give the money to the ACLU, NAACP, and SPLC to defend our most precious right (not privilege) to vote.

This is a MUST read!!
Format: Kindle
This book is a must read! I was just not aware of the extent of the planned, organized, deliberate and insidious actions that the Republican Party has taken to suppress votes from the disenfranchised and the impact that has on our Democracy. I am stricken by the horror of what has been happening now for YEARS and is still going on today!! Carol Anderson has compiled hard data to demonstrate the pervasiveness of the many voter suppression steps that have been taken across many states, primarily in the deep south, but not exclusive to the south. It’s very difficult to take reams of data and put it into a coherent, logical sequence that can be easily understood but she is masterful at making her book eminently readable. This is a very data driven book but I had no trouble getting through it. The conclusion did have some hopeful information relaying steps that some states are taking to increase voter participation which did give me some hope. I am so glad that I read this and I think we all should be informed on this issue as it is central to our state as a country.

Great book but disappointing kindle experience
Format: Kindle
A must-read for anyone who wants to understand the troubled and racist history of voting rights in the US. My only complaint is that the Kindle version of this book messes up the footnotes. The great thing about reading on the Kindle is that you don't have to flip back and forth to check the footnote cites; you only have to click on them. Sadly, the footnotes aren't correct in the Kindle version of the book. They somehow were shifted by one, as I was able to confirm in my hardcover copy, completely ruining the experience if you wish to read more about a specific incident. This is inexcusable in my mind, but I won't hurt the rating for this book by taking off a star.
