I agree 100 percent.  In working with other beekeepers I have very
rarely seen wearing gloves and sensitive (to the bees) manipulations.
Gloves almost always seem to go with bad tempered bees.  I can work the
same hive without gloves and rerely ever get stung.
 
The stings I do get are almost exclusively my fault.
