“The gear for beekeeping is way heavier and less airy than it looks, and many beekeepers forego some of it to make moving around easier and cooler. But since it is highly effective in keeping me safe, when I set my sights on visiting a beehive, I wore all of it! [...] That hat/hood/visor thing feels SO STRANGE. It zipped to the coveralls and then there were velcro covers for those zipper connections. I was sealed up! [...] A small smoker to calm the bees down — very cool!”
