Apparently DEET has a similar effect. Spraying Deep Woods Off around in the
air when bees are difficult works quite well. Don't spray it on the hive,
obviously.
Personally, I don't use DWO, though. When necessary, I just take the
smoker and generate a huge cloud around myself by pointing it upwind and
puffing madly in all directions. That usually gets rid of the cloud of bees
trying to sting.
Usually a little judicious smoker use and deft handling of the hives
prevents any such episodes, but sometimes, especially when working near
clumsy people wearing tight veils and gloves, this becomes necessary.
