i went for an OzArmour suit and love it.....BBWear or Sheriff would have been my alternatives
Before I could afford the luxury of wellington boots and a full bee suit I found simple cycle clips a great help, tucking the bottom of trousers into socks also worked but they always seemed to find the ankle that way . Now that I can afford both of those luxuries I can no longer wear welly boots at all, elastic bands and elasticated ankles work well enough these days, I seem to get very few stings at all now I have got older. Maybe the bees are kinder than they used to be ??Bees tend to walk upwards, witness what happens with a 'Taronov' board, and for that reason I have always tucked my suit legs into my Hunter (bought at local 'Charlies' store) wellies that have a handy strap and buckle arrangement at the top which ensures no downward access for any fallen bees.
Yes. Making slow smooth movements with purpose, rather than the rapid jerky movements that attract attack.As in having a plan, moving in a slow, balanced focused way with awareness and deliberation amongst other things?
I got myself a Sheriff in 2000 and it is still going strong. I sent it back a few years ago as the zip on the hood had gone. It was back in 10 days as good as new. I would go back to Sheriff in a heart beat.Buy the best you can afford from a good supplier. If the bees can sting through then your confidence will go quickly! A good suit will last you 20 years!
