With bee season ahead I thought that I might open a conversation on the matter. Bees are attracted to scent and fragrance. It is my experience that it would be recommended to only wear unscented deodorant and avoid cologne of any kind. I have not been stung in years. Even frequently have rescued mowers that has been left nestled above an in ground beehive. Hope I have not spoken to soon! Do bees also chase fear? Well just some thoughts, hope they are of help and might even save a life. I am sure that fellow professionals have been lost on this serious matter. Topic to even discuss with the help.
Never been stung since using Right Guard Sport powder dry spray!

Where do you run ito these bees? They make their hive in the ground? Huh never saw one of those. Usually I see them under gutters or doors etc... Never on the ground.
