Hi all
I live next to a mosquito ridden swamp. (It's really a very pretty nature reserve, home to the rare Raft Spider.)
This year the mozzy levels are extremely high so that any gardening is impossible without thick clothes and mozzy spray. (I've taken to picking my strawberries in my beesuit.)
I'm not really happy to cover myself in DEET everyday. Does anyone know of a reliable product which isn't full of synthetic chemicals which will keep the mozzies away and also not upset my bees if I have the spray on when I beek?
(Is that a new verb - to beek?)
