The bees can sting through them, but not as easily and I feel more confident with them on if the hive is angry and I want some protection without the clumsiness of the leather gloves.Linda Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089537760868691562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-48458768891012392012010-08-31T12:37:23.269-04:002010-08-31T12:37:23.269-04:00Linda i notice you are wearing what appears to be ...Linda i notice you are wearing what appears to be Blue Nitrile Latex type gloves. Are the bees able to sting through these, apparently not, are they indeed Blue Nitrile Rubber Gloves by chance?<br /><br />I was thinking about some other option available without using the heavier canvas cotton gloves. I have never worn gloves but after this past week here in August my healthy, thriving hive put up a pesty little fight against me. <br /><br />Boy have they changed since earlier in the season, needless to say my hands are swollen....LOL<br /><br />I might need to consider some other options when moving boxes of honey supers around this late in the game, I was trying to administer a hive brood box check.<br /><br />I never really was able to comb through it thoroughly like i wanted. I might be onto something now with these type of gloves.<br /><br />Yes indeed., ChrisChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09557994284216736973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-30174060255323326242010-08-27T15:29:27.892-04:002010-08-27T15:29:27.892-04:00Yeah, they're very cool :)Yeah, they're very cool :)Gary Sielinghttp://www.makingbeehives.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-1588558284360356992010-08-26T15:57:41.906-04:002010-08-26T15:57:41.906-04:00Julia is an artist and has expressed herself beaut...Julia is an artist and has expressed herself beautifully on all of her hives both at Blue Heron and at her house.Linda Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089537760868691562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-43011510784338395982010-08-26T15:38:26.140-04:002010-08-26T15:38:26.140-04:00I like all the paintings on the hives :) After I r...I like all the paintings on the hives :) After I read through I had to go back and look at all the pictures closer.Gary Sielinghttp://www.makingbeehives.comnoreply@blogger.com
