On the other hand, I've found I have a hand lotion that seems to make my bees very mellow. I'm very sensitive to smell, myself, and it struck me that this stuff had what I think of as a "happy bees" smell. So I decided to try an experiment and rubbed it on my arms and over my gloves before working the hive. (I usually work with bare arms and gloves.) Wow, were the bees ever mellow, that day. More like handling a swarm. Well, it *was* a "honey" hand lotion... ;-) Jane
