Pro Tips for Leather Glove Care & Use

• Do Not Machine Wash: Machine washing shrinks and stiffens leather. Gently hand wash with mild soap and water, or wipe them down with a damp cloth.
• Pheromone Management: Bees leave alarm pheromones on leather after stinging, which can attract more stings. Neutralise this by smoking your gloves before an inspection.
• Fit Check: Ensure the gloves fit snugly. Excessively loose material makes handling delicate frames difficult and increases the risk of pinching bees.
