What!?! Your beesuit remained pristine white after the first day of use until
now?  Incredible!
Seriously,  I can't even remember what my beesuit looked like when new except
when I visit my bee supply store.  I have gotten creosote, propolis, smashed
dead bees and assorted hive junk all over it for years now, and even when
washed with lots of bleach it looks terrible.  I and the bees don't care what
it looks like - only that it protects my clothes.  (It is somewhat
embarrassing, however, when I get a request to do a demo to some elementary
school class.  They usually ask about the condition of my "clean" beesuit!)
