Hello All

I was wondering if it were possible to use some form of repellent to prevent
or reduce the number of stings on bare hands. A product which would not harm
the bees is obviously essential.

I have seen mention of linseed oil, oil of wintergreen, vinegar and bleach.
The only one I tried once was a weak solution of bleach, but I must say that
I was not happy with this kind of product, apart from the fact that I do not
think it made any difference.

Sincerely
