Details of Skay Gloves

Beekeeping glove in skay — polyurethane on polyester, the synthetic that imitates leather — 33 cm long and in sizes 8 and 10.

It is the old standby, with no pretensions: not the most comfortable glove in the catalogue, but it does the job and costs what it costs.

01 · HOW FAR UP IT GOES

33 cm, which is not to the elbow

The 33 cm is the total length, hand included: it covers the hand and part of the forearm, but it does not reach the elbow. With the suit sleeve over it, that is enough. Sizes 8 and 10, European glove numbering.

02 · MIND THE SMOKER

Skay does not take fire

Skay is a synthetic and burns easily. Lighting the smoker with them on — hand near the flame, lighter against the mouth — ruins them first time out. Light the fire bare-handed or with a different glove.

03 · WASH THEM

Sting smell puts the next colony on edge

When a bee stings the glove she leaves alarm pheromone on it, and that smell travels with you to the next hive. Wash them with soap and water now and then — skay takes it — and dry them in the shade, never in the sun.

04 · BEFORE YOU BUY

They do not breathe: in summer your hands will sweat, and that is the price of a cheap glove. For precision work — marking queens, grafting — thin nitrile works better.

✓ FITS	Everyday handling, inspections and harvest, with the suit sleeve over the cuff.
✕ DOESN'T FIT	Precision work, and lighting the smoker with them on.
⚠ NOT INCLUDED	Sleeves or elbow-length protection.
