Bee Friends:
When I started with bees several years ago I wore about every piece of
protective equipment I could find and afford. As I grew in experience
(aged), I steadily reduced the bundle. As a number of other netters have
indicated, I no longer own gloves and usually, if weather permits, work in
short sleeves.
I do, however, unless it's for a quick 'pop a top' wear a veil. The risk
is too great and the discomfort too slight to not use a veil.
I believe we should basically wear what we are comfortable with, balancing
security with comfort. I also belleve we should encourage beginning
'keepers' to wear 'full' dress until they are not so nervous about
possible stings.
For 'safe' keeping,
