A local beekeeper (commercal) by the name of John showed me a trick a couple of years ago that helpes keep those bees away from your nose <G> when using a bee suit with zipper veil.  It is quite simple.  A piece of paper (I use facial tissue) is jamed in the zipper just at the end where it comes together, plugging the little hole there between the begining and end of the zipper and jambing the zipper slightly so that it does not work open as easy as it sometimes does otherwise.
