Peter and Paul,

Good site. Great advice. I avoid all scented products. Smelling good is not
good around the bees, but smelling bad is not good either. Body odor and
breath are not good around bees. AND,  if you wear a suit WASH IT OFTEN. The
phermone of the sting is on it. If I get stung, the smoker smokes the sting
site, not the bees. And I wear my hair tied up, because a bee in the hair is
as good as a sting on the fingers, trying to remove it, or the scalp getting
stung.

Which has this priceless advice on avoiding stings:

"...experts say the best advice is simple: don't look, smell or act like a
flower."
