I was at the apiary the other night and a new beekeeper came up to me and asked if there was any type of repellent to stop the bees from stinging during inspections.
I told him it was about preparation, slow methodical movements, weather, timing of inspections and many many more factors.
It did however get me thinking as to whether there was anything that other beekeepers used to "discourage" the bees from stinging, especially you guys that are brave enough to do it bare handed?
