Nice jacket ... you will get use to it and change it as necessary. Great vid as usual

[@chuckshoneybees]

Thanks 👍

[@dmdrewitt]

Another very interesting video Chuck. Thank you for taking time to make, edit and share with the community. I am looking forward to your honey extraction video! - (from a cold and wet United Kingdom!)

[@chuckshoneybees]

You and me both!

It sure is steamy in Jax. That jacket looks very nice.

[@chuckshoneybees]

It has been very dry too. Its hot.

[@glennsnaturalhoney4571]

A little beeswax scraped across the zipper does wonders.

[@chuckshoneybees]

Great tip!

I have that brand but not the sting stopper... I like it, but do you find the screen is darker than most?... I am having a hard time seeing eggs when wearing this jacket....thoughts?

[@chuckshoneybees]

I didn't notice this today. So far so good for me on seeing eggs.

Enjoy your videos. I purchased the Sting Stopper full body suit in green from Foxhound and love it.
I admit, it can get quite hot in it under the SW Florida sun, but a neck fan seems to help.

I'm scared to use nitrile gloves. Do you ever get stung through them?

[@chuckshoneybees]

Yes I do get a few stings through them, but not many. And to pull the stingers out you just snap the rubber on the glove.
