Title: My Equiptment
Post by: Stlnifr on September 28, 2010, 04:42:53 PM
Went down to the tractor shed to find my bee stuff haven't seen any of it in 15 years or more. Located 3 veils, gloves, straw hat, white jump suit, "can't fit in it anymore to small" and my smoker. So come spring I am good to go.

Head band inside straw hat stiff. Anybody know what I can rub on it to make it soft again. I think it is imitation leather.

It is amazing how clothes shrink when they are stored. You may have to invest in a new hat.

I have that problem with the clothes I wear everyday.   

Look into a bee jacket with veil attached for a replacement.
