I've had good luck with the extremely lightweight Tyvek suits that you can
buy at any of the home improvement centers in the painting aisle for about
$10-13.  I spring for the couple extra bucks and get ones with built-in
feet (like kids' pajamas) and elastic around the wrists.  Add a veil and
gloves and you're impervious.  I've never been stung through the suit, but
not saying it can't happen.  The material weighs ounces, has a tight weave
but is designed to allow limited ventilation pass-through, and is
disposable if it gets too dirty or snags on something.
