I have a friend whose brother is in Senigal, West Africa, and who is planning to begin a small beekeeping operation. We talked during the winter, and he has read and investigated a lot, but still seems to be flying by the seat of his pants. Any tips on differences from mid-atlantic U.S. beekeeping (which is all I know much about to help him)? He currently is inquiring about a beesuit. Is a polyester/cotton beesuit sufficient for working African bees - I assume it would be cooler than the nylon that I use occasionally? I'd appreciate any help you can offer us. Thanks, Jerry in Pa.
