Why is she not wearing any equipment? Is this pic taken second before she gets stung to hell by the bees?

>>12701015
Those don't look like bee stings to me lmao

>>12701015
>euro education

>>12701010
Because i'm not a jew enabling beekeeper.

>>12701015
>imagine being scared for little fluffy bees

>>12701010
Im not a bee i cant produce honey

>>12701010
>he doesn’t produce his own honey
im sorry im not a bee GOD

>>12701015
Even a memer who watched Bee Movie would know the answer to why she's not wearing any equipment.
You're just dumb.

>when you've been stung so many times you become immune to the common cold
thank you for this gift bee friends

>>12701043
Just bee urself

>>12701015
Not all bees sting, there's types of honeybees that can't sting at all.

>>12701010
I like my honey with some MILK

>>12701107
Rupi plz go

I don't like honey. Maple syrup is just better in every way.

>>12701137
fuck you I won't do what you tell me

>>12701015
Bees get to know you and know you mean no harm so they become quite docile when you work them. Numerous jewtube videos show people whorking them w/o protective equipment. I only where face protection when I work mine because it's irritating having them in your face. I'm going to be collecting honey this week and may do a thread showing pulling the frames and spinning it out.

Having said that, I'd love to see her nipples perk up with a couple stings.

>>12701015
>>12701195
This, I wear the full suit and gloves for hive inspections since they take a while and the bees can lose patience but typically only wear a veil. It's obvious if the bees are cranky just walking up to them but honeybees are typically very calm.

She got a smoker next to her. They probably already got a puff.

>Why is she not wearing any equipment?
how else is she supposed to look HAWT and share on social media?

>>12701156
Kek, I love ironic Rupi Kaur threads on /lit/

My dad beekeeps and he's had them die every winter so far, he's been using antifungal and antiveroa supplements, feeding them sugar water, and making sure they're producing eggs and destroying new queen cells. I know there's a lot that might be going wrong but has anyone else had problems with hives not surviving the winter?

>>12701692
Idk, mine have survived through a winter but in this area hive failures run at a rate of @30-40%. He's very likely doing nothing wrong, but if you have a hive failure you can't reuse the hives unless you soak them in lye water to kill any bacteria or viruses. There's a lot we don't know about why colony collapse has increased so dramatically. You just have to keep a close eye on them, but even then shit like foul brood syndrome can't be fixed. Best you can do is build a swarm box and collect a new colony when they swarm in the spring so you have backup hives. Bees are weird.

>>12701692
>>12701692
He is buying bees. He should try to catch wild ones during swarming season(you essentially just set out some hive boxes and hope some wild bees start a colony in one of them) they will be much hardier but probably more aggressive.

>>12701825
Oh, also he is probably using beehives that do not provide enough insulation.

>>12701825
That's not right, swarms go higher than that. You need to build a little box and get it up in the air. Bees don't say, "oh that hive looks like a comfy home" and go in. Swarms are intense where there are an enormous mass of bees surrounding a queen and she's very orange (so not making rational decisions ;)

What do you even do with honey?
It was $1.79 for a 8 ounce bottle at the store, I thought, hmm maybe?
But then I thought... why? What the fuck is this stuff for? Its basically corn syrup, more sugar that I dont like and dont need. So fuck it.
Justify the existence of this shit. Tell me why.

>>12702126
"justify the existence of delicious syrups that are full of antiallergenic and antibacterial compounds lol"

>>12702126
You use it in any application where you'd use sugar except you have the superior flavor of honey over sucrose. Are you a retarded?

>>12701010
Disregard honey, acquire cunny :^)

>>12701195
This really makes me think.
Do you think there are people with a bee sting fetish? That sounds pretty upper echelon to me.

>>12701040
??????¿????¿??

>>12701772
>foul brood syndrome
what is?

>>12702877
It's not well understood but it's a disease that destroys the larval brood the queen lays. It's readily apparent because the brood chambers are collapsed and the hive smells like decaying flesh. Essentially you have to destroy the hive to keep it from infecting others. Brutal shit, that is, because the bees become like your children.

>>12702555
Probably. My wife was telling me just the other day she gets sexually excited from that first jolt of a wasp sting. Frankly, it doesn't do much for me and I won't allow them in the bedroom no matter how much she pleads.

>>12701015
>he thinks all bees are africanized bees
bees die when the sting you, and some honeybee species cant even sting.

>>12701024

I can afford fruit. I don't high fructose bee syrup or any other inferior sweeteners when I have dates.

>>12703147
>can choose any fruit to represent the epitome of sweetness
>chooses dates
Go be Jewish somewhere else, Kike.

Is a beekeeper a fun job? I like their outfits and honey is sweet and yummy

>>12701010
Why would I bother keeping bees when I'm from the region that produces the best honey in the country? You can buy any variety of delicious, fresh honey basically anywhere.

>>12702126
>he's never made sweet tea with honey

>>12702288
Antiallergenic? Lmfao, hooo, lad...

>>12701692
bees are going extinct. tell him he's wasting his time and to do something more productive.

>>12701040
Nazi larps are never taken seriously when it comes to food

>>12705001
Isn't keeping a species in crisis alive the opposite of wasting time? Especially if they're necessary for the survival of everything?

>>12705048
>killing his hives every winter
>keeping them alive

>>12701010
>>he doesn’t produce his own honey
honey doesn't come from humans.

The only thing humans produce are feces.

>>12701015
Looks like she's already been stung twice on the chest.

newfags.

if you cover yourself in queen bee pheremones then even bees that sting won't hurt you.

that's how they used to make movies with lots of bee actors before CGI put those real bees out of work.

>>12702042
the only post that matters

>>12706151
that is not nicholas cage

>>12701015
I never wore beekeeping clothing for the 3 years I kept bees
>>12701010
why is she holding brood comb?

>>12704931
If you eat honey from the region you are in, your allergies tend to evaporate. Stop eating mexican honey.

>>12701010
Private beekeeping is a big factor in wild bees going extinct, as honeybees steal their food and are absolute garbage when it comes to pollination.

Is she the queen?

Beekeeping is actually a very good hobby to have, bees are amazing animals and there's lots to learn about them. Having your own honey is great for multiple reasons:
1. Allergy relief
2. Health benefits
3. Tastes way better than other honey
4. Can satisfy a sweet tooth in a healthier way than junk
and best of all 5. ALCOHOL - mead is delicious and honey is an easy way to boost ABV for your homebrewed beers.

I used to be terrified by bees but I had a college processor that talked about his bees all the time and now I kinda realize they are super cool. Retirement goal for me is to beekeep.

Fuck wasps though. I panic whenever I see one

I often see people make this claim, but is there any actual evidence supporting it?
