A bee veil is a protective garment worn by beekeepers to shield their face and neck from bee stings while working with beehives. It is typically made of lightweight, breathable fabric and features a mesh screen that allows visibility and airflow. The veil is an essential part of a beekeeper's protective gear, which may also include gloves and a suit. Bee veils come in various styles, including those that attach to a full bee suit or standalone options. They are designed to keep bees at a safe distance while allowing the beekeeper to inspect the hive and manage the bees effectively.
