You must have pretty deep pockets in your beesuit

Now, thats a great idea. I lost a set of apiary keys in the long grass this year.
I'd thought about getting one of those small carabina clips from halfords to hold the keys. If I put it through the rings on my veil, I might even remember to close it properly

err..

miniature blowlamp.

But not smoker. My bad...

 

[Karsal]

Small magnifying glass

 

[busybee53]

Nothing. Put the lot of it in a box so I can wash the suit without emptying pockets.

My sherif suit has a clip on the inside of one of the pockets that I always fix my car keys to! I have no idea why they put it there though

Says in the blurb it's for keys.

That's a good idea. i have a BBwear. I'll stitch a clip inside a pocket before I use it again. I'd already decided I need to velcro the breast pocket.

Another great idea is a magnetic clip that holds your hive-tool.....no need for a pocket that gets torn. I saw this on a video
