A beekeeper's suit which is used for protection against bee stings and insect bites. The beekeeper's suit provides for the use of a multi-layered material from which substantially the entire suit is uniformly constructed. The material includes an outside net layer, an inside net layer and an intermediate porous cellular plastic layer. The inside and outside layers provide structural integrity to the suit, while the intermediate layer provides protection against the bee stings through its thickness of approximately 0.4-0.6 centimeters. The intermediate layer provides about 90-95% of void space with a high degree of permeability to permit ventilation an cooling of the users skin during activity.
