[QUOTE="tristan, post: 2155, member: 30"] when i first started the bees where pretty unfriendly. gloves where pretty much mandatory. these days its almost the opposite. however i had enough oops to know how fast you can get into trouble. eg a slip with a box and now you have a very angry hive to deal with. so i still wear all the gear, unless its something delicate then its just quicker to whip the gloves off and do the fiddly stuff. one of the big advantages to gloves is its cleaner and i can grab onto boxes etc easier. one of the hardest things to learn with bees is keeping your focus and do whats needed when things go pear shaped. hive turns nasty and they find a way into your veil. tho its funny as to watch someone running down the paddock screaming :LOL: [/QUOTE]
