    Default Safety Tees


    I have never experienced as many bee & wasp fly-bys when I wore white tees vs these corporate issue safety tees I'm wearing this summer........... Am I wrong in thinking these neon yellow t-shirts attract bees & wasps?

    When I switched from yellow hardhats to red, I stopped getting bees/wasps buzzing around my head as much.
    I still get the buzzing *inside* my head, but thats a different story...

    I sometimes hear that buzzing also but I thinks it' because I'm going deaf and the voices inside are getting fuzzier! Wing, it must be your after shave because I'm not having any problems with the new tees.

    I think the bright colors do attract them some sort of way!!!

    No problems here with bees or wasps so far...

    I don't have any problems with Bees or Wasps but I had a near miss with a walleye while working around the lakes.

    Hey spray - I take it your response is meant as "tongue-in-cheek," but my kids bought me some Tommy Bahama cologne for Christmas 2009. I spray it on thick every day to knock down some of my afternoon stink...... Maybe it's Tommy Banana and that's what causing the buzz-bys, you think?

    Once my wife bought some Orange Blossom shampoo. I only used it once. Never again! I smelled good, but the flys were thick on my head all day long!

    I have the same problem. I guess the bees and wasps see a big neon green flower walking down the street.

    The only time I have been stung it has been while I was wearing my Flo green safety vest. And it has been more wasps then bees.

    I never can tell if its the vest or the sun-block.

    I haven't noticed any problems with the green/yellow, but when I wore orange shirt and vest combo I definitely noticed more bees flying at me.


    In your company sent bee and wasp safety email it says "Avoid wearing bright colored clothing"
