My uncle was a beekeeper and dairy farmer. He told me once that
he had learned never to work with cows, then go to the bees,
without taking a shower and getting on clean clothes. The bees
don't seem to like the odor.

   But then again, his hives were in the pasture, and they didn't seem
to bother the cows. Once in awhile a cow would tip over one that
was supered up, probably by scratching herself against it....
