I just saw a video of a woman not wearing any sort of suit or protective clothing moving a whole beehive, and even going as far as scooping up bees with her hands. I always feel like anytime I’m even close to a bee I might get stung. How do they avoid it?
In: Biology
We put in a hive at work, I’ve helped out several times. Honeybees are pretty chill. We wore suits to get the honey out, but even then I didn’t see any bees really trying to sting anyone. I’d go right up to it to check them out occasionally, never an issue. Even one that got slightly stuck in my hair didn’t sting my hand when I brushed her out.
