    Midges area natural phenomena like rain or wind. Choose your time and work with nature and all will be well. A bright day with a bit of wind will be midge free. A dull overcast day with a drizzle is impossible . I have a midge hat with a broad brim which keeps the veil off my face but it is too hot to work in
    I have kept bees on the sunny west coast in ullapool for 12 years and the midges and I have learned to coexist peacefully

    Aberdeenshire, on top of a wind-swept and exposed hill.

    I suppose that's the only good part about all the wind on our hill: the midgies are often just blown away - but not always.
