>  >> breath are not good around bees.


I always hear this, but I find my breath a useful tool. When inspecting a
frame of brood, or looking for a queen on a crowded frame of brood, I blow
on the bees to get them to move out of the way, or break their cluster, so
I can better see what I am looking for. Perhaps if one was to blow into the
entrance one might get one's nose peppered, but breath isn't al;ways "bad"
around bees.
