As a passionate gardener, i found the success of my food plants depended on my providing flowers to keep the bees drawn to my garden. I eventually ended up with a seasonal rotation of perennials so one started as another finished. This rotation gave incentive for bees to keep coming all summer long well into fall. Thank you for saving and sharing the value of everything they bring to us. I love watching you hand scoop them up. You are soft, no sudden movement, and calm. They trust you to respect them.😊

[@jazzycraft7842]

The waggle dance is by far my favourite fun fact about bees!!

[@redbone5363]

One reason she rarely gets stung is a lack of fear. When I first started beekeeping I was nervous and a little afraid and I got stung much more often than I do now. The bees know if you are frightened of them and it makes them more aggressive. Slow movement and no fear makes all the difference.

[@pavelr3119]

Yes, bees do not need to protect themselves. Thousands years of evolution gave them stings just to bully scared animals.

[@moublabla2306]

I thought that she uses smoke to calm bees before shooting video.

[@redbone5363]

@@moublabla2306 The smoke moves the bees around where she wants them and it messes up their communication so they cant send an alarm fermion. It still takes skill and fearlessness to keep them calm.

There is likely a beekeeping association in the area. Ours has a swarm list...someone going out to collect a swarm. We take a donation of 50 bucks for the association coffers. It's also an opportunity to educate the public. In some cases, people who are initially scared become beekeepers with a bit of education.

My mom has a huge homestead an the property and when she first got there she got a few hives from a friend. We wanted them mostly for occasional honey. But as they thrived the many old growth fruit/nut trees did too. What we didn't expect was just how positive the plants reacted to the bees.
