Bees are so cool! Have a colony living in a hive on my back deck. Just gotta know when to suit up and when it’s probably not necessary. Most times it’s not necessary. So many misconceptions about them!
The world definitely needs more people like this!!
How do you know when you need to?
Don't know if there's a difference between yellow jackets and bees.
Bumblebees are chill 😄
Missing my frens! Waiting for the plan to unfold!
Good day to you! Most bees and wasps are chill most of the time. Yes there is a difference between yellow jackets and honey bees. Most varieties of bees don’t WANT to sting you. The honeybee will usually lose its stinger and die if it stings you but they will use their only means of defense if they feel threatened or if they feel you are threatening the queen. Most people create their own problems when they freak out if a bee comes close and start. waving their arms and acting erratically.
This simulate the movements of predators and the bees become defensive. Some bee colonies are just naturally more aggressive because they have previously been disturbed by predators. Notice this woman said this was a docile colony of bees. They showed no aggression and have probably not been disturbed or attacked for many generations. Honeybees will usually bump you several times as a warning before they try to sting.
They communicate well, we just need to listen! ❤️
