I shall certainly wear them whilst beekeeping.

I agree. We have a sock company here in Vermont, making socks of wool. Darn Tough sock company.
Wonderfully comfortable. Guaranteed for life. If they get a hole in them, the company replaces for free.

I have a lot of Smartwool merino stuff.
You can wear it for days without stinking. Not that I do any more but I have trekked for two weeks wearing the same layers and not smelled …… much

Then there are Tilley hats that are advertised to be able to pass unscathed through an elephant and are similarly guaranteed

Damn! Perhaps I should try that. There are days (such as today, when I have been shovelling compost for most of it) that even I don't want to get too close to me.
