Swimming in My Bee Suit

In ordering a bee suit, I had to take into consideration the suits are made for tall thin men. That's despite the fact that many women are beekeepers. Some of them may even be on the short side. I got a medium.

The crotch droops down around my knees. The legs cascade in folds above my boots. If needed,  I could wear the suit with short stilts underneath, for a clown parade. Despite my advanced age, I'm good on stilts.

The hat and veil combo allow for extended growth of my neck, say another two-thirds of a yard.

I say two-thirds of a yard for clarity, instead of two feet. As everyone knows, necks cannot grow feet.
