ELI5: Why are beesuits not stingproof..?
gpt
When one dresses like a bee, one doesn't usually expect to be *around* bees. Beesuits are popular at halloween and children's birthday parties, not really places you expect to find a large concentration of bees, so the extra padding to make it stingproof would be pointless in most cases.

Beekeeping suits, however, usually are to a degree. There are limits though. You can't make them out of some lightweight but supertough fabric their stingers can't penetrate because it'd cost loads to develop some ridiculous high-end suit. You can't make them out of something thicker but cheaper because you have to be able to do delicate work with beehives and honeycombs which are fragile. So most beekeeping suits just try to find a balance. Something thick and strong enough to protect a little without inhibiting movement. Really though most beekeepers want to reach a stage where they're good enough to not even *need* a beekeeping suit, the suits are mostly only for newbies, so it's not like there's some big push from the beekeeping community to develop something.
