I am also allergic to beestings.  Bates Organic,in Moncton, N. B., Canada
has a onepiece coverall with built in veil which is very satisfactory.  Be
careful that the gloves you use are also stingproof, and that separate
pieces of clothing are suitably tucked in, to prevent bees from walking
inside with you.  The experience of one getting inside the hat with me,
while I had a colony open, and thousands were in flight, left no choice but
to let them sting.  I am told that there is no guarantee that one would
always live to tell the tale.  As ne young man said a few years ago:  One
must take a few left turns in life, and beekeeping is one.
