The moment you realise your looking at a bees wings.
It's inside the veil.
Been there done that.
I found a bee crawling around my belly button when I got home, it had already stung me somewhere else though.

My lady friend was helping me a few years ago when I broke my right arm..the veil is always zipped up on this particular bee jacket as it is pulled on over your head..what she did one day was pull the jacket too far down past her waist which caused a gap under the waist elastic below her backside ..one of my little devils found the gap and crawled up the inside of the suit and into the veil..she is not bothered about being stung and calmly said look I have a be inside of the veil..I crapped myself as from personal experience I know what it feels like to be stung in the ear hole and between the eyes..I quickly squashed it with my left hand and no harm was done..
