Humble Bee designed the 113 model to resist stings through a layered construction while keeping the fit secure with elastic cuffs and reinforced wrists. Built to withstand repeated use, they are offered in a wide size range so both hobbyists and commercial beekeepers can find a comfortable fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these gloves protect against bee stings?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Humble Bee 113 uses a medium‑weight canvas sleeve woven in an interlocking pattern to add puncture resistance where bees commonly attempt to sting. Cowhide palms provide a dense barrier over the fingers and thumb, and the reinforced cuff area reduces gaps at the wrist. Together these features lower sting penetration risk without sacrificing flexibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInterlocking medium‑weight canvas sleeve for puncture resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCowhide leather hands that block stingers while allowing grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReinforced wrist panels to minimize entry points\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eElastic cuffs to keep sleeves sealed and secure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill I still have good dexterity for hive tasks?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the cow leather used for the palms and fingers is supple and formed to allow fine hand movements. That leather grip makes it easier to handle hive tools, frames and queen cages compared with stiffer gauntlet styles. The canvas sleeve is medium weight to protect the forearm while staying flexible for normal beekeeping motions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupple cowhide palms for precise tool control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePreformed cut to follow natural hand shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCanvas sleeves sized for freedom of movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I choose the right size and maintain these gloves?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHumble Bee 113 gloves are available from XXS through 6XL — consult the sizing chart in the product images to match hand circumference and sleeve length.
