Lol Peter. MY beesuits ARE yellow, made specially for me at BB Wear in
Cornwall, England, who will make them in pretty well any colour you
like. My father had a red one from Sherriffs, and had no problems with
bees attacking it. One of the teamleader/beekeepers I have, a Polish
girl, likes lilac beesuits, which I duly provide her with, made by the
same people.

Most of our beesuits are this colour, actually described as olive in
their list. Excellent. Once we started using them white fell out of
favour with all the staff inside one season. Much more practical and
fewer bees clustering on the suits. I consider white to be obsolete,
except in circumstances where appearance is more important than results,
such as when appearing on tv or the likes.
