There has to be something directly connected to the wearing of a watchthat attracts bees..I have three different wrist watches running just now.Two are standard battery operated affairs with black plastic straps.The bees tend to crawl into my sleeves under the elastic gauntlet and then down to the wrist inside the glove and go directly to the watch.Yes they may get pinched as sting as a result. Other times I have been hit through the mesh at the back of the wrist and be hit right at the watch. If I leave the watch at home there is no problem. I have another battery watch that is designed to attach to my ski teaching glove with velcro so that it is outside and I can keep tabs on my class schedule . I think that tomorrow morninfg I will adapt it to my bee gauntlet glove above the ventilation point and watch to see whether to bee go to it.At least there they will have to spike throught the glove and my jacket sleeve. No free lunch there.
