If all o f the field workers wore hats with brims then simple mosquito
netting would work.  If you are handy with a sewing machine you could
make these up at little cost and they would fit in a shirt pocket.
 
I assume you are attempting to protect these workers from a bee that
accidentally flies into their hair and that if the bees were to get
serious about stinging, the worker would simply leave the area.
