Subject: bee suit report
Hello Dick!
A quick line to report on the
bee suit I purchased just before xmas.
I was out in the channel country
a couple of days ago, and gave it a good run for its money.
We retrieved 139 boxes of Yapunyah and coolibah honey in
a day and a half between two of us. Not much
fun in 35 degree heat.
I used to use King-Gee overalls.
The bee suit I got from you in much certainly cooler
to work in.
The size 12 of the suit gives
enough room to move body parts away from the bees when they
sting thru the fabric. I'm not sure if this fabric
is of the sting free nature, but I didn't notice that the
bees were trapped by the sting as would happen in the king
gee cotton.
The only criticism I have is
that for a garment that is a bit oversized on me,
the elasticised sleeves rode up the mid forearms during
super clearing. I use long gauntlets anyway so it
want too much of a problem. Maybe the manufactures can adjust
this. The same problem is found when buying shirts.
My compliments on supplying
a quality article, promptly at a reasonable price.
best wishes
Mark Nicholls
