Muslims are HEAVY into the separation of the sexes - that's one reason Muslims are kind of crazy. And in their culture they imagine that women are Terribly Dangerous - which is one reason you must keep them separate from males.

Women are so dangerous to a Muslim because he blames them if he's attracted to them. So the Muslims have the women wear the ugliest cloths they can find so that it won't cause all the crazy Muslim lads to get a big old bonnner.

Thus the bee-keeping uniform.

It's kind of a sick bunch of folks, really.
