Ventilated Bee suit

As I've said before. look into BB'wear lightweight suits.
Coolish (I still 'glow' in it but I can do a round of inspections without falling over through heat), to wear and wash/dry PDQ.

Again NO connection just a happy customer.

It's what I wear.

Me too.

Not much space face to visor is one of the things I found, along with it feeling bulky because of the thickness. How do you find the hood? It seemed a bit big.



I just have a problem with heat regulation I think and it's starting to be a bit of a concern as I feel quite unwell after inspecting.

I still get warm but nothing like I used to. The hood is my only gripe as it seems 'light' in the front and easily touches my nose and chin. I am going to wire the front to help move it away, talked about getting a wire out of SWMBO bra but was told she will not be lopsided for the bees and to get my own !

Sadly, I too have discovered that the veil does touch my chin area at times.
The Bees know this and lay in wait for it to happen,
and then zap they get me.
A sting to the chin.

Is this why so many of the older Beekeeprs have beards ?
