[QUOTE="John B, post: 4836, member: 207"] I would never breed from something I couldn't work without just using a smoker even on a sub optimal day. Mind you a lot of things contribute to how bees react. Take a hive from here in the Bay up to Coromandel and it will be twice as nasty and take the same hive to Canterbury and it will be nicer. My hives around home I tend to work without any gear at all but when I'm out in the field I wear everything because I'm in a hurry. Most of the time I would get away without a veil but there are some days.. I wear gloves because it keeps my hands clean and is quicker plus you end up with a lot of stings just from accidentally squashing bees. [/QUOTE]
