I rarely wear gloves unless it is in ythe fall and I am trying to get a lot of work done.the reason is because of something I read. That is Once a bee stings your glove then more and more emergency pheremone builds up on the gloves causing more and more stinging.The advice is to very thouroughly wash your gloves after each use. I am not that festideous so I just dont use them. Jerry Fries
