Stinging Insects Prefer Light Colors New York -UPD- Are you making yourself "attractive" to stinging insects? White or light-colored cloth ing is less provocative to bees than dark colors. Experienced beekeepers consider clothing color most important. Smooth, hard-finished kha ki, drill, or nylon clothing is less attractive to black flies and mosquitoes than blue den im or serge. Suede or other leather materials are irritat ing to bees. Hair oils and perfume also should be avoided. The floral odor apparently attracts bees. Once entangled in clothing or hair, bees are inclined to sting, even if it was not their original intention. Biting insects are more in clined to attack a moving ob ject than a stationary one. "To flail wildly at an ap proaching bee is one of the worst things to do," warns Dr. R. A. Morse, of Cornell University. . "It usually is possible to retreat unharmed simply by using the hands with the fin gers extended as a shield be fore the face and moving slow ly from the vicinity," he said. When stung, experts recom mend looking for the stinger. It should be removed as quick ly as possible with a finger nail in a scraping motion. Influence of Color St. Paul, Minn. (DTD-Coloring in a room has more to it than meets the eye. Some colors may induce fa tigue, like a bright, turquoise against bright red, while oth er color combinations may cut down working efficiency or cause adverse moods, warned home economist Gertrude Es teros. She said color selections for homes are too often based on fashion or personal whim, with no consideration for practical factors.
