Hi all:
 
It has always been my impression that honeybees react aggressively to dark
colored clothing.  Could be why all of the bee outfits that I've seen are
white..:).  The aggression to dark colors is most likely due to the fact that
most of the predators of bees are dark colored; ie bears, skunks and racoons.
