Questions & Answers
I found a video, actually several, which shows how to attach the hood. Just Google "attach hood to beesuit". The key is to insert the long prong on the zipper into BOTH of the zipper pulls while having the hood and suit in the proper orientation.
Received product today. Need detailed answer on how to attach the hood to the suit. One zipper pull will thread the zipper and the other does nothing. I have repaired zippers, but I cannot figure this out
Can bald face hornets sting through the suit
While this suit is designed for beekeeping and offers good protection against bee stings, there is no guarantee that it will prevent stings from all insects, including bald-faced hornets. Bald-faced hornets have longer stingers than honeybees and are more aggressive. Therefore, additional precautions are recommended when dealing with these insects.
Protect Against Wasps/Hornets and the like?
This suit is designed for beekeeping and offers protection against bee stings. While it might offer *some* protection against wasps and hornets, it's not specifically designed for them. Wasps and hornets have different stinging mechanisms and behaviors than bees, so a suit optimized for beekeeping might not be fully effective against these other insects. For dealing with wasps and hornets, you might want to consider specialized protective gear designed for those specific pests.
