bee suit
Beekeeper's protective garb
A bee suit is a protective outfit worn by beekeepers to prevent stings while working with hives.
It typically consists of a full-body coverall made of light-colored fabric, gloves, and a veiled hood or hat that shields the face and neck.
The material is thick enough to block stingers but breathable enough for outdoor work: I need to patch my bee suit before I check the hives.
