Wardrobe malfunction

[Yankee11]

I wondered why I had as many bees inside my veil as there were outside. The stings in the temple were the worst.. :'(

Yeeouzers! I'll bet you did a good two step getting outa that suit    Hope you are okay 

[Perry]

If I had a $1 for every time I've worked a few hives and then discovered that I had forgotten to zip up the veil, well.............................

[robo]

I had a similar experience the other day.  Getting bee in my veil and couldn't figure out why, veil was fully zipped.   Turned out I only had the jacket zipped up half way.

I figured out if you not going to zip it up might as well leave it in the truck.

We do need a couple of pics though!  

[Yankee11]

Lol. I did zip it up. The zipper failed in the back and I didn't know it.

I was changing the nuc box on a trap out in a front yard. A lot of mad homeless bees, I couldn't stop in the middle so I just had to take the stings.

No pictures cause I don't even swell anymore.

Got my zipper fixed the next day.

Rub a little beeswax on the zipper to help it slide better, makes a world of difference.

Yankee11 try lubricating the hood zipper with Lemon Essence Oil. 

[Yankee11]

I use beeswax and walnut oil that I make to go on wood bowls and cutting boards. Works great. Ends up the slider part was worn out. I don't understand that as I hardly ever that bee jacket /s.

I got it slide part replaced at a alteration place. The cost- 1lb squeeze bottle of honey.
