Allergies and How the Body Responds

Despite being extremely careful to avoid bee stings, sooner or later you will get stung - a fact that all beekeepers are resigned to.

How the Beekeeping Suit Will Protect You

The beekeeping suit is full-length attire and must be worn at all times within the beehive. The protective suit is lightly colored and is usually white. It's also made of smooth materials. Because darker colored animals like bears and racoons prey on bees, the light-colored suit acts to "camouflage" the beekeeper from the colony. The beekeeping suit also provides the beekeeper a convenient method of removing stings and venom by simply tugging on the cloth. The "alarm" pheromone will continue to be distributed to the colony and induce more unwanted attacks if the sting is left in the fibers of the suit for too long. To minimize the risk of the bees latching onto the scent the next time the beekeeper enters the hive, regular washing of the suit is highly recommended. By using vinegar to wash the hands, the attention of the bees on the beekeeper will be lessened to a great extent.
