Gator Gripz - Beekeeping Gloves 🐝
The Gator Gripz gloves are the original diamond-texture nitrile gloves — refined over decades of specialist glove engineering and now trusted by beekeepers who need serious protection and grip around the hive.
Unlike other orange diamond-texture gloves on the market, Gator Gripz is the original — and still the best in class. 
Designed in a specialist glove manufacturing facility with over 30 years of industrial glove expertise, these gloves combine exceptional strength, flexibility and grip, making them ideal for demanding beekeeping work.
Whether you're handling frames, catching swarms, inspecting colonies or working sticky equipment, these gloves provide the durability and control serious beekeepers rely on.
Beekeepers consistently report long wear times without tearing, excellent dexterity for delicate hive work, and comfort even during long inspections.
The Specification
These are some of the strongest disposable nitrile gloves available.
• Weight: 8.6g per glove
• Thickness:
• 12mil at the fingers
• 10mil at the palm
• 5mil at the cuff
This heavy-duty construction makes them ideal for beekeeping tasks where standard gloves simply fail.
The signature diamond grip texture provides excellent handling even when working with:
• Sticky propolis
• Honey-covered frames
• Hive tools
• Swarm boxes
• Feed containers
Made using High ACN nitrile, these gloves offer exceptional resistance to oils, chemicals, waxes and hive products, while still remaining flexible enough for precise hive work.
The gloves also meet Type B chemical resistance standards, giving extra peace of mind when using treatments or cleaning equipment.
Why Beekeepers Choose Them
Beekeepers wanted a glove that doesn’t rip mid-inspection.

• Hive inspections
• Swarm collections
• Frame handling
• Honey extraction work
• Cleaning sticky equipment
• Working with treatments and feeds
The Smart Tough Technology means you can use your phone, take photos, or check notes without removing your gloves, saving time and reducing waste.
