I bought a BB suit a few weeks ago and I'm really pleased with it. My bees are a bit aggressive at the moment and they try stinging my suit but are not selecting any specific area.

Glad to hear it sjt...

Got my new hood yesterday and thought to my self..

weather has been bad the last few days..
some hives were queenless..
stores were only ok..

perfect time to test out the new hood!

only had 2 stings in the whole suit and some of those hives were pretty nasty, i did get stung on the elbow thou and the buddy i was with got done 4 times! haha

will be sending the old hood back to BB, should be interesting to see what they find
