I was looking for a "guest" bee suit for the occasional visitor who wants to look at my bees. My own suit is the Dadant V01180XL model for $78.50 ($100 after tax and shipping), and that's a bit too much to spend for a guest suit that might only be used 3-4 times/year.
So I searched ebay for "bee suit" and there's one on ebay for $12.72 (with free shipping). I don't have link posting privileges yet, but if you search, you'll see it. I bought one.
This is probably too good to be true, but I'm only risking $13, so I figure I have little to lose. Of course I will try this on myself before "testing" it on a guest
It ships directly from China, so it'll probably take 2-3 weeks to arrive, but when it does I'll let everyone know if it's any good. Or if I don't let everyone know, it means it didn't work and I'm in the hospital recovering from anaphylaxis.
Has anyone else here bought a ridiculously inexpensive suit that actually worked well? If my 10-yr-old can get over his fear I might want to get him involved as well, but I don't want to spend $100 on a suit, have him wear it once, and then decide that he's no longer interested.:roll eyes:
I wish I had beekeeper neighbors from whom I could borrow one!
