Yes, very good idea especially since wildbees are such a pain in the ass to harvest if you can find a horse. Might be hard to implement a mesh item, so maybe there should be a smoke-producing item to calm them as well (pretty sure that's been suggested before).
Tedium is a feature.

Bee proof hat would just make hunting bee's easy mode...
Rather make it Armor that also stops "beesting" wound and does not stop you from raiding a beehive when youre attacked by bee's.

Not sure that putting a relatively advanced credo bonus on an item is a great idea.

I mean how else would you balance this item and not make it useless?

If it does not give it. then it makes the hat pretty useless unless your one of the people afraid of beestings.

it basiclly be a way for hermits to gather a few more stuff in extanage of some resources to make the hat.
Ideally for non-combat players.

Anyone else will do the current meta of testing hives to find the 0 bee hives and gather.

Make it craftable with wax, the hunting bee game mostly occure early in game, when you got beehives you dont hunt much wild bees.

I'd argue that the hat should only protect against domesticated bees. Getting bees is a huge part in early game and should have an exciting part to it just like cave ins and mining. If Jorb and Loftar remove the toughness of bees then they should also remove the danger of mining level 1. Same logic. You can only protect yourself from cave ins until after you already mine out some metal.

Yeah but add a possibility for it to get stuck in some branch while raiding the nest, strangling you to death.

Or just use alt like rest of us!
