Just wanted to share my experience with this. Been beekeeping since April, two young hives then, much bigger now! I use marigolds, not quite brave enough of nitrile or bare hands. I rub the gloves with oil as oil which really does seem to keep the bees off and haven't been stung yet so am guessing it must do something. Just thought it may be worth any other newbies trying if getting stung in the hand is a problem.
