How can beekeeping prevent stung? Beekeeping precautions and precautions to avoid being stung.

Beekeeping is very common these days, and as a beekeeper, being stung by bees is a common phenomenon. It can be said that a successful beekeeper cannot be considered a successful beekeeper without being stung many times. In fact, bees do not sting people, bees sting, it means that you are not irritating the bees or that your method has the right problem. Say it, and also the bee says, so the bee cannot appeal to our human instincts. Although it can be said that it can sting people, people can't survive for others. Knowing about bees, if you open the box cover when the bees are upset, a large number of bees may be besieged at this time, so what should we do in this situation?

We need to learn to solve the problem of being stung by bees, but learning to avoid being stung by bees is even more of a problem. So how should we avoid bee stings? In fact, pay attention to the following points, the chances of being stung by bees are still not many.

The first is to change a habit

Some friends think that they are old beekeepers. When they enter the bee farm, they don't need the bee cap and bee coat. Yes! It is possible to do this if you know about bees, but there are many reasons why bees sting people, and even experienced beekeepers may not fully understand them. For example, when opening the box for inspection, it irritates the bee colony too violently, stands at the door of the nest to block the bee's access, and crushes the bee when handling the bee colony, especially when placing the secondary box, many of our friends crush the bees After that, you can also see a thick layer of crushed bee carcasses between the main box and the secondary box. These methods will obviously attract bee stings.

Secondary odors and colors often overlooked by beekeepers

Bees are sensitive insects. They are quite sensitive to many odors and colors. Although many of our beekeeping friends already know about bees, it is inevitable that they will anger them. These behaviors are mainly reflected in the color of clothes, the smell of sweat, and the smell of alcohol. , garlic, perfume and so on. These are all things that we tend to ignore in the process of beekeeping, so even if you have enough experience, you should still protect yourself.

The time for the third choice is wrong

For example, when the bee colony is checked during the low temperature or honey shortage period, and the bees are mildly poisoned by pesticides, etc., the bees are in a state of alert at this time, and the long-term impact on the bees will naturally cause the anger of the bees, and it is inevitable to be stinged. We should still protect ourselves.

In fact, with complete protection measures, we are not worried about being stung by bees at all, but many friends may find a problem, that is, even if we wear protective clothing, we still feel fear when the angry bee swarm pounces on us , so how do we avoid contact with the irritable bee colony? In fact, the method is very simple. For such a bee colony, we only need to spray a cigarette on the bee colony when we open the box for inspection.

It looks like the above are all precautions, but what if we accidentally run into a swarm of angry bees without protection? When we find out that bees are already flying around us and have been stung, many Friends habitually slap and sting their own bees, which only makes the bees even more crazy. The correct way is to force sedation, withdraw slowly, or take off your clothes and wrap your head during the withdrawal process.

In addition to the above situation of being surrounded, there is also the situation of being chased. Should we run or stand still when we are being chased? Of course it is good if we can withdraw slowly, but if the bees can chase It's too powerful. When we've already run, don't run in a straight line. Your two legs can't beat the bee's wings. The correct way is to run around the corner and run around the corner. Such a turn throws off some of the bees, and finally throws off all of them. So what should I do if I still get stung? In fact, for many friends, there is no harm in being stung a few times. It will disappear naturally after two or three days. There are some benefits to the human body. What if we are allergic? In fact, we don't need to worry too much. As long as the sting is not too serious, we can usually solve it by the following methods.

When you are stung, scrape the stinger out with your fingernail and wash it with soapy water. If you don't even have soap, spit and apply it with a splash of saliva will also help to some extent. However, if you experience severe discomfort, you should seek medical attention immediately.
