When approaching your beehives, you want to be well covered with no vulnerable bits for nasty natured bees to take advantage of. (I know there are lots of beekeepers who scorn the protection of gloves and veils. However, for the rest of us it greatly adds to our enjoyment of beekeeping to be able to work our hives with confidence).
