I work my hives both with gloves and barehanded, so I am not an
expert on bare handed working of hives. But when I work them bare
handed, before I light my smoker, I "wash my hands" in the burnt
pine needles, so get fragrantly smoked hands. Seems to work in
reducing the number of bees alighting on my hands while I work
them.
