[QUOTE="southbee, post: 7621, member: 11"] We do have mostly very calm bees here too, but I do prefer to wear my gear. Stops me being distracted by getting tickled and then stung, keeps the pain and frustration at a minimum and I can work faster. My boys often don't wear gloves because they like it better and sometimes no veil, but only for certain jobs. Sometimes people try to make a statement with not wearing PPE as being the 'better' or more sensitive beekeeper, I think that's BS, it'd be like saying not wearing a seatbelt makes you a better driver.
