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
Bees don’t want to sting you. As long as you don’t give them any reason to defend themselves, you (probably) won’t get stung. Beekeepers have years of experience on how to act around an handle bees inn order to minimize the chances of getting stung. And, if they do get stung, they’re so used to it that they barely react.
