Old Castle Farm Hives

Had a sentinel suit for a year now. Excellent, in every way. They might be a bit more expensive than others that look similar, but they really are incredibly light, and the reason I've waited a year, hard wearing too. Will definitely buy another when I need too.

Sentinel Pro II Custom size Beekeeping Suit I ordered a Sentinel Pro II Suit, however I am of a larger build and although the suit I ordered fitted, it was too long in the body, legs & arms ... I'm only 5'10", not 6"6'. Contacted Ian of Old Castle Farm Hives, he was happy for me to return the suit and order a new suit in a custom size. I provided all the measurements (which I worried excessively about). Just less than 4 weeks later, the Sentinel Pro II suit appeared via courier and fitted perfectly. I haven't used the suit yet, however it does seem extremely well made and in my opinion for the protection it provides, it's very good value. Finally, in all my dealings with Old Castle Farm Hives, I've had extremely prompt responses to all my queries via phone and EMail, the customer service seems excellent

Wonderful! I purchased the Queen Bee Suit, for several reasons, 1- The sentinel suit for protection, being thicker than the barb/stinger of the honeybee since I became allergic to Honeybees after 8 years of beekeeping, 2- The Fit, style, and comfort on hot days, pocket for my Epipen, big plus is that the suit has the Velcro both outside the veil connection and inside the veil connection when zipping up. 3 - The customer service I received was quick, responsive and answered my questions. Thank you Ian! I would highly recommend this suit to anyone, the gloves are great too! and The only issue with the suit would be the wrist design, it is great being able to Velcro them closed, but they leave quite the overhang if you have small wrists. Happy Beekeeping! Thank you Old Castle Farm! Whitney
