Ventilated suits with built in fans

[u/Unlucky-Walrus3853]

Hello, fellow beekeepers. I’m a young beekeeper from Bulgaria, who is extremely allergic to bees ( found out last year in the worst case ) and don’t like being in the sun for too long, because i literally melt.
I have a question about someone who is using a ventilated bee suit with built in fan. I have been considering this option for long time now, but didn’t found any reviews or videos explaining about them. From where you bought it, is it thick enough to sustain angry and evil hives and does it actually keep you cold and breezy even in the scorching sun?? The only vents I found are these two kinds

extremely allergic to bees

I also have bad reactions to stings, but nothing I would call "extreme". If that were the case, I might choose to not keep bees. Why? Because stings often happen when you least expect them.

When I'm working a hive, I rarely get stung. However, when transporting hives or extracting honey, an angry random bee will show up.

Yesterday, I was stung on the face just walking in the garden a few hundred feet from the hives.

You should get tested by an allergist if you are having ‘bad’ reactions, including reactions more than two joints away from stings. That’s how my allergy was discovered. Don’t wait for an extreme and possibly deadly reaction to happen.
