Those are my staff wearing them.  I often prefer shorts and a tee shirt and
almost always wear sandals, but some of the worst stinging was through a
suit.  My wife counted 75 on my stomach alone that day, before she got tired
of counting.  My daughter and I had driven out to a distant comb honey yard
and only realised the smoker was at home when we got there.  I was stubborn
and did the job, but not without getting well stung.  She wisely stayed in
the truck.

Not after the first time.
