Since I am allergic to sunlight, I often wear
sunscreen in the bee-yard- and I haven't noticed the
bees objecting to it at all!

The only annoying thing is that sunscreen stings badly
if sweat washes it into your eyes.  I prefer a
waterproof, light formulae for this reason.  I also
prefer fragrance free formulations, since I don't like
to smell like a pina-colada.

There are plenty formulaes out there that are
non-greasy, fragrance free, and waterproof- just look
around.  If you don't find them at your local
Pharmacy, ask your favorite Avon- lady- Avon offers
several good sunscreens- one may work for you!
