Our suits are made from certified organic cotton, which comes from small, organic family farms.
No chemical inputs and no pesticides are used in production of our cotton, so no bees or other insects are harmed
Organic cotton is better for the soil, better for the planet, better for your skin, and better for the bees.
Our partners, SUMINTER India Organics, help farmers to grow healthy crops, improve soil quality and increase yields by teaching them to work with nature.
The Problem with Non-Organic Cotton
Non-organic / GM cotton can only be grown by using large quantities of chemical fertilizers, insecticides and pesticides
The Problem with Synthetic Suits
Until now, ventilated bee suits have been made from artificial fibres i.e. fossil fuel-based plastics: the outside is usually Polyester, and the inner mesh EVA. At the end of their lives, these suits end up in landfill, or in an incinerator, where they can create hazardous fumes. From production to disposal, these artificial fibres cause CO2 emissions, a greenhouse gas that contributes heavily to the warming of the atmosphere.
