Why is the fencing veil so tall?Its like it was designed for a giraffe.

[@adventuresinbeekeeping7590]

lol. I think it is that way so that your head fits into the space but the veil doesn’t touch your head or skin. If the veil touches your skin a bees stinger can reach through the netting and sting. It can happen. It has not happened to me but I have heard plenty of stories about the netting resting on peoples skin for some odd reason and them getting stung. Thanks for watching. Have a great beekeeping year.
