The Apicultural Mask (an apiarist's protection mask from the bee-bites) consists of a frame, made by metal and textile, having in the face a see through veil. This frame consists of pipes (2 and 3), a hoop on the top (1), where the textile (7) fits above and behind, and the see through veil (8) fits in the face, having as well a pair of cloth sleeves (9) for protection from the bee-bites. This frame ensures stability having a back rest (4) and a lacing belt (6) round the waist, leaning with shoulder stands (5) over the back of apiarist and it is guaranteed that this apicultural mask does not lean over the apiarist's head but on his shoulders. The advantage of this patent is that the apiarist's head is unoccupied, since this mask does not lean over his head, he does not sweat often, he can easily wear his glasses and this mask has more stability, even against the wind. Another advantage is that, the apiarist can easily hold and carry this mask when he does not use it, since it is easily packed and remains half of it, as the down pipe of the frame goes into the other larger pipe, the hoop is bending over towards behind and the shoulder stands are closed inside.
