New Bee
1/2" from my eyeball!! No face veil.
I've got one of those hats with a veil which i slip on when i need to mow near the hives or give them a heft.
I know i wouldn't bother donning a full suit for the little jobs so with my hat at least my face is protected.

i tried many years ago with no kit on to to feed some fondant to my 20 hives...
I'm not sure how you can protect against that, apart from re-queening.
Petrol?

i tried many years ago with no kit on to to feed some fondant to my 20 hives, its winter so they ant flying, quick lift of the lid and plop in the fondant and then replace the lids, simples.
did 16 got to number 17 , they were waiting for me big style, before the lid was off i was stung 4 times, dropped the foundant , lid and knocked the hive over , whilst trying to run away screaming like a little girl.
went home came back fully suited, rebuilt that hive fed the rest went home to lick my wounds, never done it since
Been there, done that , cost me £100 for a replacement hearing aidsorry but i found that soooooooo funny. do you want to guess why i NEVER go to my bees without a veil on, been there done that
