Beekeeping Tip #4
Take off the gloves.
It is a great experience to get to know your bees
without the gloves. I have found that we tend to be clumsier when gloved.
If you are bare handed you will be more conscious of the bees and
their movement. If you are sweating you may even be used for a salt
lick by the bees. In any case, a glove-less beekeeper can gain
insight to how our movements affect the hive.
Still unsure? Leave the gloves off. If you get
stung once or twice put them on and get on with your inspection. You
are still a beekeeping heroine (or hero)!
