Clothing Suggestions
- Long-sleeved shirts and long trousers are essential to add an extra layer of protection.
- Choose light-coloured, loose-fitting clothing, as bees can be more attracted to darker colours and tight clothing might feel uncomfortable under the suit.
- Sturdy, closed-toe shoes or boots are recommended to protect the feet.
Additional Tips
- Avoid wearing strong perfumes or scented products, as these can attract bees or make them more defensive.
- If possible, tie up long hair to ensure it doesn't get in the way while wearing the suit.
Can Children Attend?
Yes, children can attend, but they need to be accompanied by a fee-paying adult. It’s also important that children are old enough to follow instructions and remain calm around bees. A typical age range for beekeeping experiences is 10 years and above, but this can vary depending on the child’s maturity.
These guidelines help ensure everyone remains comfortable and safe during the experience.
