Above are the initial honeybee suits that will be sent to La Gonave Haiti as part of the honeybee program. These suits will be needed to protect our beekeepers from honeybee stings. These suits are light and not bulky. This is really important in hot environments. Some of the bee suits that were sent to Haiti (mainland) are suits that are designed for more of a northern climate. All suits no matter how thick will get wet with sweat, which will make all of them cling to your body. When that happens stings are more likely to happen if the bees are very aggressive.
Typically honeybees will be pretty tame under the correct conditions during hive inspection and if the beekeeper is aware of when to do a hive inspection.
We can't wait to see local Haitians on La Gonave wearing these suits.
Stay tuned! Go Gonave!
