Do you mean bee stings?
Assuming you do, are you referring to the propensity of yellow hi-visibility clothing to attract insects?
If so, there was a thread on it about this time last year, which will probably be revealed by using the search facility.
As I recall, one solution proposed was to switch to orange hi-vis clothing as the bugs don't like it as much.

And as if by magic using the search word 'fluorescent' we get the following thread:

If that's not what you're looking for, then please explain more as I have got the wrong end of the stick.

Several of our highways repair teams use orange high visability coats because of insect problems.

I used to have an orange tent and insects LOVED that.
Why is orange better than yellow?

There are more flowers that are yellow (or contain yellow) than there orange ones.
Therefore there are more insects that like yellow than orange.
