Hey All,
Just want to know if the behavior of my bees as shown in the following videos is exceptional or wether it is normal? They are very kind to me, I can hang around the front of the hive and take photos & videos with no fear of being stung as they act as if im not even there! I love it because it allows me to get some awesome vids & photos.
I seem to be able to put my hand very close to the entrance without getting attacked too.
Now admittedly I have been stung a couple times ( once under the eye! ) but perhaps it was the time of day when guard bees are on patrol?
In general tho, I am able to walk around my orchard & even my little sausage dogs walk nearby & around the hive without being attacked.
Perhaps my queen is a well bred placid lovely lass who produces such like brood?
Opinions?
Thanks
Ryan
