There ain't no such thing as a sting-proof suit.
 
If you are REALLY devoted to keeping bees, the only alternative you have is
desensitization.  I developed an allergy to bee stings after we had already
spent $50,000 starting our beekeeping business.  Naturally, I had a real
incentive to solve the problem.
 
I went to an allergist, and he put me on a desensitization program of bee
venom shots.  I avoided ALL contact with bees for the next 8 months, until I
was regularly receiving the equivalent of 2 bee stings in a shot once a
month.  Now, I just make sure that I get stung once a week or so to keep my
immunity up.
 
This is not a cheap solution....the first visit to the allergist was $600.
 (They got cheaper after that).  However, it is the ONLY solution for anyone
who has developed an allergy.  As my allergist told me on my first visit,
"This is your life we're talking about here."
 
Either take up model trains, or go see an allergist.  There is no middle
ground.
