?> One year I put away my bee gloves wet, and they were as hard as could be in
the spring. I used a leather conditioning oil which contained lanolin to soften
them
I found that merely wetting hardened gloves and wearing them returned them to
service. I had tried oils, but found them unnecessary and undesirable.
We washed gloves caked with honey either by wearing them, running a tap and
washing our hands with the gloves on, or in extreme cases in the wash with bee
suits.
