I've loved my long cuff form fitting dishwasher gloves for the past 8 years. Easily washed between hives if necessary, different colors for different bee yards if necessary, easy to feel the bees so no squishing them.
Hi Laurence, good nitrile gloves for me , use once on each hive and then throw them away only if I’m really clumsy or if a bee gets in between my fingers then I will get stung otherwise the bees don’t bother with you. Thx for sharing your vlog with us mate.
Ahhhhhhh I was just about to ask you about this subject. Having oaf hands myself I struggle with gloves. I have the standard leather jobbies but I am getting pinged on the knuckles a lot at the moment. Other option we use is these thick red rubber things but they are super clumsy, so I never pick them up. I will get myself a pair of those thicker gloves you recommended(Marigold), give it a go. Great Video. Cheers.
this is so on point for me today, i have just got these gloves today: Ansell Solvex 37-185 Green Chemical Resistant Nitrile Gauntlet Gloves (very thick) and these Ultimate Industrial NL15 Lightweight Nitrile Gauntlets, 8/Medium, Green thin gloves. pricy know
One big issue with nitrile or rubber gloves is how wet your hands get so I wear thin cotton gloves and the long cuff nitrile . You can still be stung through the combination but it's mild as the sting doesn't get embedded.
I simply flood the insides of any of the plastic type gloves. I tend to like to use both canvas and leather types. they are a bit oafish but keep my hands dry. I do tend to get sting rings around the biceps, at the top of the vented gauntlet!
Are the 2nd pair of glove a "house hold" cleaning glove?... I am in the US and thats what they look like... I've use the "cleaning gloves" in the past and they have worked very well. Thx
I use dishwahing gloves....a little thick, just like last pair....never been stung through them.... wash with water when done....use again....over and over... definate game changer..
I thank you for the advice . However , I live 80 miles north of Laredo , Texas/Mexico ; the wild honeybee population is mostly African hybrid . They are extremely aggressive and we have to accept the fact that they will be in our beehives . They are prolific , producing large amounts of honey , can defend themselves in an established colony and ( even though they are aggressively dangerous ) make a desirable type of honeybee . Now , what suggestions would you have for gloves in this particular situation ? Advise would be appreciated and tried .
Using the long gloves from Viking as you recommend. Do you use any sweat control for your hands (cotton inners etc) or do you just tolerate sweaty hands?
What would be comparable to the Marigold/Viking gloves in the US? After halfway dropping a frame of bees last inspection using thick and clumsy gloves, I’m looking for something with protection but have better dexterity and feel. Always in search! Thanks!
I started with thick leather gloves. Wow what a mistake that was for the exact reasons you state. I only used them for 1 year and got stung twice through the gloves. As for dexterity, that was non existent. Marigolds for me now.
I tend not to use gloves if at all possible. If I have to use gloves, I use the Showa Green Biodegradable gloves, as they break down in about 5 years instead of the many decades that standard Blue gloves take. The downside is they are way more expensive. Why is anything that helps our environment so much more?
This just means the plastic breaks down into micro plastics sooner and ends up in us quicker. Maybe research this topic before you are thinking you are helping the environment
never use plastic disposable gloves please... they have so much microplastics on them that you sometimes can literally see (the plastic dust) so it will end up in you honey eventually whether you want it or not and for a natural way of beekeeping it is definitely not the best solution

i think if you would smoke your hands or your gloves before opening the hive bees wont sting your hands. (ps how common is efb and afb in the uk)
This is what I do, smoke my hands and body

I'm a dedicated marigold man myself. Might give those long cuffed nitrile gloves a go though
I’ve been stung through marigolds 3 times this year. Gauntlets for me now.
Thanks for advice….always the best advice from here!

Yer got a pack from Viking but they are a lot thicker but you still have great finger tip feeling 👍👍
Yes - you still get good dexterity and feeling through them
I use dishwahing gloves....a little thick, just like last pair....never been stung through them.... wash with water when done....use again....over and over... definate game changer..
Where do get the dishwasher gloves that you use please
I’m with you there with hand size. Most shops only carry groves for small handed people. My wrists end up as pin cushions with a certain type of bees😂
very interesting. and i happen to have a box of nitrile gloves.

Dishwashing gloves... fantastic....no stings...
The glove should fit the situation. Not all actions are handled best by a single item.

ps hope it was not too windy today

@@sigma_kappa A good point well made, I will try not to use them at all.
No gloves!

Gloves for beekeeping ?? 😂🤣😂
