As an observation, I have come to the conclusion that bees do not like sweat especially from under my wrist watch strap and therefore remove it and wash my wrist before working bees. I know only too well that if I wear the watch (it has a metal strap) I will be stung in that area. Do rings work in a similar way? I have a sygnet ring but the main part is thin and perhaps the finger does not collect sweat like the area under a wrist watch because I am seldom stung on any finger.
