Here’s the flip side. Whatever you do, avoid anything sweet. Vanilla, floral perfumes, fruity drinks? Bees love that stuff. You might as well put up a neon sign that says “All-You-Can-Eat Buffet.” Don’t wear your sweetest perfume to the garden party—unless you want a furry audience.
Think of it like this: bees are foodies. A sweet smell is a five-star review. A sharp, bitter, or minty smell is a Yelp complaint. They’ll scroll right past.
