I have not tried them personally, but a couple of years ago I went with 
a group of fellow beekeepers to Buckfast Abbey, the home of the 
Buckfast bee, They are very calm very hard working, and nice to handle.

Some 10 of us watched and handled 6 or 7 hives, some of us had veils on 
but they were not needed!
