black nitrile gloves

[Hebeegeebee]

I used to have a cheapie bee suit and the thumb elastic failed (so did everything else for that matter!) so I used some black elastic to replace the broken bit. That's what the bees went for.
With sweating my bits off recently in the warm weather, I would not go for anything other than white.

Smoke your gloves when they are aggressive, take out the first and all stings from your gloves, and smoke them again.

Turn the light on then!

I put some extra cardboard/paper for the smoker in a 2l black plastic plant pot once and left it in the edge of a hive stand, the bees started hitting it like hailstones

We say - If you look like a bear and smell like a bear you will be stung. Black nitrile? - bearlike?

I used to use a tiny black video camera, like a go-pro but a lot cheaper, which i wore around my neck during inspections, to record relevant info. After a few inspections I realised that it was a really bad idea.
The bees zeroed in on it and attacked. Maybe it was the combination of black and the lens but they didn't mess around. When I stopped wearing it their mood improved massively.
