[He essays a thoughtful hum at that question.] Were I a Witch, I could tell you better how they compare to the spells I'd use for it back home--but I'd say they do a good enough job of keeping the bees calm. Less noxious than smoke, for less effort.
As for what to wear, best something you'll be comfortable in that hasn't too many loose folds to catch bees. Tie down your sleeves and the cuffs of your pants so they can't crawl in; it's not so much they want to sting you as they get frightened when they're trapped and crushed and do the only thing they know how. [Definitely a note of sorrow in his voice there; this boy and his bees.]
A proper mask's not a bad idea either, to keep them from bumbling into your face. Less surprising for the both of you that way.
Alright, I will take note of that. [It's actually not as bad as she thought it was. Bee stings are inconvenient, but she wonders if she can get out of this without being stung much.] Anything else you can think of? I assume I'll need to get a proper box for the hive.
