I can generally tell in a group of visitors, who is most likely to get
stung, even before we enter the bee yard.  Twitchy, fearful movements.

My older son cannot walk through a yard without getting stung.  He
wouldn't dream of not wearing a veil, while working alongside me in no
gear.  He would get 10 stings for every one that I got--must be the
way his skin smells or something.

Guys with curly dark hair or beards will also get more stings to the head.
