Veils are the most important thing in the world in my eyes, (get the pun). When I work the colonies if my eyes, ears, throat, mouth are all protected, I have the strength of hundreds, I have no fear that I will be blinded or have a sting inside my ear canal. Never would I work bees without facial protection. Yep, I have heard what a bee sting to the eye can do, and you don't think that the wild animal goes for the eyes, well, think again. Beautiful and most wonderful day, lovin' and livin' our great lives. Cindi
