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
They learn how to be around bees without scaring them. They avoid making any fast, surprising moves, or noise that would scare the bees. Beekeepers avoid working with bees on cold, cloudy, and windy days, as these conditions can make bees more agitated and increase the chance of being stung. Also, beekeepers sometimes use smoke to make the bees feel ”sleepy” and less likely to sting.
