Neighbor details and does body work. He noted it was a problem last spring when I had 5 hives here.
I have about 6 nucs going now and they must not fly far because my cars are a mess! I can see his issues and try to be a good neighbor. I just moved a divided deep and new queen right nuc to a friend house. He has one of my hives there not doing well. I checked them today and did not see any marked queens in my nucs. Looks like one is laying doubles so she is getting started bad or she was replaced by a laying worker.
Nope, did not clean the gloves yet.

I've taken several stings through the leather gloves lately as well. Recently I have perspired so heavily that the gloves are soaked. That might contribute to the stings. They are also held together at the seams with tape. Saturday I purchased the nice Mann Lake goatskin gloves with nylon sleeves. The Mann lake dealer said the nylon sleeves were cool and comfortable while being sting resistant. He swears the fabric is too slick for the bees to land on.

I haven't had an opportunity to wear them yet.
