PVC Gloves for beekeepers.
Best all round beekeeping gloves for South African bees.
Our bees are the cousin to the African Killer Bee and is, on average, highly defensive compared to the European counterparts. When you come across beekeeping videos on YouTube and see people wearing just shorts and t-shirt and now gloves. DO NOT TRY THIS IN SOUTH AFRICA...
There is a debate about or I call it a preference decision to make:
PVC is for bee removals and honey harvesting time and when working with highly defensive bees. Like DEFCON 1 level. When the normal is DEFCON 3…
Why PVC Gloves?
Leather gloves are for queen rearing, queen splitting and brood maintenance work. When you aren’t going to be getting sticky wet hands from working with any honey.
When using PVC gloves, I like to also wear cotton inner gloves like the ones you get at Action Cricket. We sell them. Why? They wick away the sweat. They also help 'fill' the glove space adding to dexterity and more control.
