Hi all, I've long since been interested in keeping bees but not had the time or opportunity before. I've happily accepted the offer from an experienced beekeeper to site a collected swarm on my allotment, so that I might observe close up and get some hands on experience
I now find myself plunged into the world of protective clothing
Some questions that have arisen so far are - do some manufacturers use thicker quality material ? Full suit for greater protection and beginner confidence or just a jacket ? Do you get more for your money with the more expensive options ? Round hat or fencing visor ?
Obviously I'd like to get something that will last more than 5 minutes so steering clear of Ebay, any recommendations from you proper beekeepers would be gratefully received
