[Bonus] Short - Jeometry Bee Wear Designed for Women!

In this Beekeeping Today Podcast Short, Jeff sits down with Jenna York, founder of Jeometry Beewear, a new line of protective beekeeping clothing designed specifically for women. Combining her 10 years of beekeeping experience with two decades in fashion design, Jenna shares how frustration with ill-fitting gear inspired her to create a solution from the ground up.

Based in Charleston, South Carolina, Jeometry Beewear uses eco-friendly materials—including a breathable, recycled honeycomb mesh—and thoughtful design elements like bust pleats, functional pockets, and single-zipper access. Jenna explains the challenges of domestic manufacturing, the importance of gear that fits real women, and her vision for expanding the line to separates and even men's sizes in the future.

This episode is a great listen for beekeepers who want gear that fits and functions—because good design shouldn't be gendered.
