Proper protective gear

Wearing proper protective gear is the most effective way to minimize bee sting risks. Full protective gear typically includes a ventilated bee veil to protect the face and neck, beekeeping gloves to cover hands and wrists, and a bee suit or jacket to protect the body. Gear should be well-maintained and properly fitted to ensure maximum protection. Light-colored clothing is also recommended as it is less likely to provoke bees. Investing in quality protective gear is a fundamental aspect of beekeeping safety.
