Why don't they sting through the suit?

A bee's stinger isn't that long. Also, the suit goes over everyday clothes and should be loose fitting enough to not be pressed against your skin. The goal is to handle your bees calmly, and avoid them stinging (since they die after they sting).

It must be the material, I have used it to clear out yellow jackets and wasps and have not got stung once. Its a bit awkward to get on at first but well worth it if you have yellow jacket problems each year as do I. Hopes this helps..

The suit fits loose to your body, plus the thickness of the suit and what ever clothes you have under is thick enough to protect from most stings. The suit is also White which is calming to the bee's. When the bees and the bee keeper are calm the suit is only insurance and there should be no stinging going on at all. That is the goal for me whenever I'm working around my bees! I hope this helps!

They should have enough power to knock the targets down however, steel balls and BBs will ricochet off steel targets in unpredictable ways. You would really want eye protection and nothing breakable around.

They repel some water but I understand that dry cleaning might take away the ability. The pants are thin enough to dry fairly quick.

rub it all the way through then wait about 3 min before u put the suit on that way it wont adsorb thru the suit when u sweat

They are quite heavy and thick. I am not sure how much a snake could penetrate. They are thinner up towards the top. Very thick up about half way.

I would imagine after the skin was waterlogged it would be more sensitive to the abrasive surface. This is more likely than not to be used with some type of footwear.

It turns them to dust. Fabulous device. They can't make it past the wires without a wing or some other part making it easy for the static charge to leap through them using their body to complete the ground.

Really good question! According to Tyr they don't, period.After this, will check other brands - Speedo, etc.

The suit needs to fit VERY tight! It may even take almost 10 minutes to put on! When the suit is on pull on the shoulder straps and they should not go higher than the persons ears:)

It looks like they should just pull off however it looks difficult. I just bought the special tennis balls that you can get on amazon and pushed them over the two back legs and it works perfectly for me. Sorry, I couldn't be more helpful.

I would trust it against spider bites, but not against snake bites. Although, I've never used the suit for either application, only with bees.

We have several of these suits and do not use any other head gear with them. The veil is heavy material except the on the face which protrudes forward far enough for protection. While I haven't tried, I imagine you could use a hat or ball cap for a little more peace of mind.

The HECS does not assit in scent elimination, which is why I recommend using the Dead down wind in conjunction with the suit. The suit, when worn properly conceals your electro-magnetic impulses which animals can detect. I have been just feet away from bull Elk and Moose that didn't even appear nervous and had no idea that I was there. When Bow hunting, that is quite an advantage.

It covers your face, but it's better if you wear a hat. They hat keeps the net off of your skin which is important. Insects will bite thru the net if it is in contact with the skin.

It'll sting for sure. Bare skin at point blank is gonna surprise you a bit.... From a distance it's barely a bother.

yes and no, it should keep the beak from penetrating the skin or glove. but you will still feel the pressure from a potential bite. Hopefully this helps

I don't know. Also I don't know that rain makes any difference snce they are placed in tunnels.
