I read somewhere that a tyvek suit is sting proof, anyone have experience using one? The only thing I've used tyvek for is building wrap in my construction job. Doesn't seem like it would stop a stinger.
it is a good bee suit but get hot because no wind can pass through it, aw and you can be stung using one, mostly around the arms when you bend them :evil: other than that they do find but are hot like crazy
I haven't used one, but I have no doubt that "hot like crazy" is the word. yikes!
I have used them when spraying paint and you will sweat buckets unless you're in Seattle today. Really like wearing plastic rain jacket and pants.
I got two of these suit and they are hot

I took several stings to my tyvek suit today... most of the stingers went in sideways, none of them got me. I usually just wear it so I don't have to worry about wearing dark colored clothes... but I was glad I had it on today since my girls were sure in a pissy mood today. I guess it's because it's been so rainy lately and they are much lower than I think they should be on stores.
I have a tyvek suit that I use when the girls are cranky and I must get into the hives. As others have said, it's very hot, but it provides a good amount of protection.
