How do beekeepers not get stung?

910 viewsBiologyOther

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?

Experience. Honey bees tend to be friendly or at least they don’t want to sting, other similar looking insects like wasps will sting you out of spite.
