Why don't bees bite beekeepers?

         Many people who have never raised bees will have a question: Do bees sting or not sting beekeepers? Especially those who have been stung by bees. Bee stings are really painful, and the stung area can swell. Some people have seen beekeepers manage bees on the bee farm wearing only a straw hat with a net, and no protection in other parts. Some beekeepers don't even wear anything, and they haven't seen that part of them swollen. Then I felt that bees must not sting beekeepers, otherwise why don't they take protection, aren't they afraid of pain?

         Actually not as many people think. Beekeepers are stung more often than other people, sometimes dozens of times a day. For example, when there are fewer nectar sources in autumn, bees are more irritable and will attack nearby people or livestock. So why aren't beekeepers afraid? Just get used to it. Those who are afraid of being stung by bees do not go to beekeeping.

         A lot of people think beekeeping is an easy job, isn't it? Just put a few boxes of bees somewhere and let him collect honey, and when the collection is full, just collect the honey. All I can say is that it is naive to think that way. Beekeeping is the same as other farming. It needs management and needs to check the situation of the bees every day, including whether there is any nectar source and whether there is food in the beehive. I quit my job and ran away from home. If I don’t find it in time, I will never be able to find it after I have gone far. And are there any pests. Bees are most afraid of mites. The mites will bite off the wings of the young bees, making the young bees underdeveloped and bringing diseases to the bee colony. If the bees are not dealt with in time, the bees will be in danger of destroying the colony, that is, they will all die.

         Also, taking honey is also a physical task, and a hive full of honey is very heavy. There is not only one hive in a box of bees, and a beekeeper does not only beehive of bees.
