       @futurebird He's using his bare hands to take out the frames! Then he grabs the queen, still with his bare hands.

       @ligasser I imagine it's like soldering, gloves sound like they would help, but any reduction in dexterity is a huge problem.Also I bet it's harder to flick the stings out with gloves on? And it sounds like acting fast on that is the key to avoiding the pain of their poison. Also the guy seems kind of immune to stings. It was interesting how he was clearly monitoring Stewart who had "never been stung by a honeybee before" since people's reactions can vary wildly.

       @ligasser The beekeeper at our community garden also skips the gloves, I should ask her if this is why.

       @futurebird I told my working colleague who is a second year beekeeper about this. He still prefers gloves, even though he gets stung a lot...
