I have found the ideal thing for sealing the gap between glove and wrist.

These are elasticated so you can tuck your sleeve in under the wrist support. I tested them today and they work perfectly.
I usually work with nitrile gloves but you could probably work bare handed with these as just the fingers are exposed. Any time I try and work bare handed the bees go straight for my wrists. I rarely get stung on the hand.
I did get one sting today, at the top of the arse when I was on my hunkers in front of a hive watching the bees go in and out. Maybe need some elasticated protection there as well or I could just go on a diet. I kept my trousers on though - unlike Calum who seems to be more cavalier than the rest of us with regard to the areas which need protection.
The supplier is in Glasgow so you Scots can help to prop up a local business.
