Another one of our friends... Wasn't. At all. Actually he was more like you We usually had lunch in a spot with tables that has a huge tree in the middle and a bunch of plants around it. Obviously, there's a beehive SOMEWHERE around. Whenever we drank Coca Cola or a sweet juice they used to take there, they'd come say hello... I'd be walking around the table trying to avoid it... Usually he'd help remove the bee Sometimes, we'd trap the bee in a cup just so we could eat, and release it as soon as we could He has, more than once, pat the bee And I just look at him like "What kind of witchcraft is this...?!"

Warm or hot water to make syrup for bees is fine, just don't boil it or leave it on heat. Do consider when you feed though.

[@ashleyjohnson9651]

as someone that works at a garden center outside among all the bugs all day, wasps are very chill unless you directly mess with their nest, and paper wasps (the kind we usually associate with wasps) tend to keep theirs in higher hard to reach easy to see places, building out of the spot they chosen with a visible paper nest the real problem child is the yellowjacket, because they are extremely defensive and built their nests internally, like under ground or inside dead logs. since the structure is internal and not easily visible, its easy to step on and unintentionally threaten yellowjackets. if you just see one little yellowjacket buzzing around you, either slowly walk away and let it lose interest, or if youre feeling brave, just let it land on you (if you arent deathly allergic or anything, just in case lol). its most likely following because something about you smells good, possibly your sweat, and should lose interest quickly. of course, just like people, some individual critters are just jerks and might get you for no reason that you can fathom 😂 but those individuals are pretty rare and imo, not worth killing the ones you see over. ive worked at this garden center for 2 years around tons of them (including a cool bald faced hornet once) and not been stung yet. and thats as someone that has to habitually stick my hands into the plants to prune and tidy them 😂

@mykellhale you're right I didn't pay close enough attention at first

[@tomobedlam297]

Once bees (and wasps!) get into a robbing frenzy they will attack any weaker hives within their range. I've lost starter colonies due to this. Another reason it's a bad idea is it's a great way for bee parasites and pathogens to spread.

[@YallBeeKind]

We’ve been letting the bees clean out frames before putting them up for winter for several years and most beekeepers do the same as far as I’m aware. Do you leave your supers wet when stored or an alternative to keep them protected for wax moth or beetles? They are far enough away that we don’t see issues with robbing and we do monitor what’s going on at the bee yard through the day/days we do this

[@Torauma-o-otta]

Once I had a bee stuck in my hair like I don’t know why, but it just wouldn’t leave. It happened at school and of course, my friend spotted the bee and we ran to the teachers. The teacher had to pull it out.

Free meal ? They created it! 😂😂😂😂

[@suckerfish3043]

what a beautiful wasp, you can tell shes feeling relaxed when she puts her wings down. so cute and special to have a pretty little murderbug put her defenses down and peacefully sip honey off your hand!

[@mykellhale]

Hi Rachel, love your videos! Do you use wax foundation or starter strips or something else?

[@YallBeeKind]

This frame is a full thin wax foundation meant for cut comb. We use a wedge top and grooved bottom bar. Do you do cut comb as well?

[@mykellhale]

I have not done cut comb but plan to give it a try this next year. I'll do a couple of frames (I only have two hives; planning to split in the spring) and see how it goes. 😅

They’re adorable

A little bee/bug feeding frenzy. Without the screaming and losing limbs like a shark feeding frenzy. 😂

[@fuamf]

People: "wasps are so aggressive!" Wasp: "don't mind me, just getting a snack and will be on my way soon enough"

[@TheWilliamSipe]

I'm just glad she's a real beekeeper and not someone who just identifies as one 😂

[@theflamingsword4197]

That wasp is beautiful!

[@_Cooper_.]

Never thought i would see a wasp, bee, bumble bee on one hand

[@MrXerios]

That looks like a burrowing wasp. They are usually pretty chill.
