These pants are durable, but they are not sting-proof beyond what you’d expect from thick jeans or quality work pants.
They are designed for comfort, durability, and functionality while working bees, not as standalone sting protection.
Apis Tactical
Imagine a pair of work pants with all of the features you'd expect in a high-end tactical pair of pants... features like, durable, breathable, stretch fabric, ...doubled knee with options for knee pads, ...multiple pockets optimized for beekeepers, ...elastic back waist, and more! Now imagine that this pair of pants only costs $66.99 instead of the usual $78 to $100+ that a quality pair of tactical pants can cost!
Inside, under the front pockets, there's a little button-hole opening for a magnet. With a magnet installed, the main cargo pockets become an excellent place to hold your hive tool (with the magnet holding the top part in place).
These pants just became available, so please excuse our poor quality photographs, we'll take better photos when the cold and snow here in North Dakota goes away. In the meantime, give these a try!
*Note that while these pants are great for beekeeping and most other activities, they are not any more sting-proof than thick jeans or other work pants.
