Beekeeping - Protective clothing
When interacting with the bees, novice beekeepers usually wear protective clothing (including gloves and a hooded suit or hat and veil). Experienced beekeepers do not use gloves because they make movement clumsy and can transmit disease from one hive to another. The face and neck are the most important areas to protect, so most beekeepers will at least wear a veil. Bees are calmed with a puff of smoke, triggering a feeding response in anticipation of possible hive abandonment due to fire and masking any alarm pheromone, before the beekeeper opens the hive. Knowledge of bee behavior is the beekeeper's first line of defense. Smoke is the beekeepers second line of defense; protective clothing provides remarkably little protection from agitated bees.
