> I wish I felt more comfortable without a full suit, but I get such bad reactions from stings that it's hard to not be nervous that I'll get stung. I also for some reason get stung on my legs just as often as anywhere else, so a jacket just wouldn't help enough unfortunately.
By all means in your case get the vented full suit. You have to be able to enjoy your beekeeping. Doing if comfortably is key. Just remember the fan, shorts, and no shirt and you will thank me later. 😊 so cool and comfortable even on those hot dog days of August.
