Beekeeping suits are worn when dealing with insects like bees to provide you with protection from their stings.
Kim Flottum, author of Backyard Beekeeping and Common Sense Natural Beekeeping as well as host of Beekeepingtodaypodcast.com and HoneyBeeObscura.com advises novice beekeepers and those performing tasks that expose themselves to bees such as unloading multiple hives from trucks with many bees in the air to always wear full protection beekeeping suits when conducting beekeeping tasks such as unloading multiple hives simultaneously from trucks.
