Very Short Gauntlet Rubber Beekeeping Gloves (Small to XL)

These very short gauntlet rubber gloves are a practical and lightweight option for beekeepers who need basic protection while working with one or two hives. Available in sizes Small through XL, they offer ease of use and comfort for light beekeeping tasks.

Key Features:

• Short Gauntlet Design – Minimal coverage that’s perfect for light hive work. If you only manage a couple of hives, these gloves will likely provide all the protection you need.

• Rubber with Fabric Lining – Easy to put on and take off, with a fabric lining for added comfort and reduced sweat buildup.

• Tactile Sensitivity – The rubber material offers excellent flexibility and a sure grip, making it easier to handle frames and tools with precision.

Advantages:

• Comfort and Flexibility: The short gauntlet design makes these gloves easy to maneuver in while still offering solid protection against bee stings.

• Lightweight: Ideal for lighter tasks or if you don’t need full arm protection.

• Easy to Use: With the fabric lining, these gloves are very easy to put on and take off, making them convenient for quick hive checks.

Considerations:

• Less Arm Protection: The very short gauntlet won’t cover your forearms, so if you’re concerned about stings there, this might not be enough coverage. However, if you're working in a suit, it shouldn't be an issue.

• Rubber Gloves Drawback: While they offer superior tactile sensitivity, they can get wet and smelly with extended use. They are also harder to dry than leather gloves, but these are still a solid choice for light use.

Perfect for small-scale beekeepers or those who don’t need extensive coverage. If you're only managing one or two hives, this simple, effective glove will serve you well!
