Great thread!

Re alarm pheromone--no need to burn the gloves, it evaporates quickly.

Re treating gloves after washing.  I've tried a number of leather
treatments, with varying successes--some very good.  So I went to baseball
glove manufacturer's websites for their recommendations.  They strongly
recommended Vaseline (petroleum jelly).  I've now used for a couple of
years (we wear gloves for winter bee work).  Rub in lightly onto the damp
gloves as they dry.  So far, happy with it.
