This guy removed this rescued this massive beehive from a tree the local council had cut down

Fall video: https://youtu.be/_AA3Ej1Ev98

The council had cut down the tree because of a road expansion and place on the edge of a mine site.

Thankfully the operations manager of the mine decided to call a beekeeper not an exterminator.

Do they make sure no ? is left behind?

Question, how do they do this, all the cutting and moving of parts of the hive, without squishing any bees? Do some get squished?

I love that beekeepers are just like "BEES, HERE'S A SPECIAL BOX". And the bees are like "K, LEMME GO IN, YOU SEEM NICE."

its illegal to exterminate bees here, licensed exterminators will end up calling keepers themselves too.

Is he doing that without gloves?

They get used to the stings so it doesn't bother them like us. Think the snake venom thing.

He could have covered his hands with the material of the suit that covers his steel fucking balls.

I can understand where he's coming from though. I don't like gloves because it feels weird to touch something and not actually feel it.

Bees can sting through nitrile gloves. Anything heavier makes accidental bee deaths likely.

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

From what I understand, bees are not as aggressive when they are swarming . There still is some risk tho because they wear the suits

I am shit scared of bees and wasps and that, but I was around a beehive (honey farm?) last year and they don't give a fuck what you do 1/2

most of the time. Took a while to not get freaked out when they kept landing on you but i never got stung.

European honey bees are chill as hell. Killer bees have NO chill and are full of goose rage.

Well... not at all. They aren’t killers but they are not chill as hell. False move and you are fucked up as well, I can confirm. ?

He probably knows bee-havior (omg I know) as the honeybees will die if they sting him. They seemed happily working away for a mass suicide.

6 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Can anyone explain why? I don't see how gloves would hinder him at all here

6 years ago | Likes 15 Dislikes 2

Most beekeepers I know stop wearing them eventually so they have better tactility when working. I havent gotten brave enough yet.

6 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

The gloves really can be a hindrance at times. Covering the face is a must, as bees seem to naturally target the face first when pissy.

Honeybees have to feel like their lives are threatened to sting, as they die immediately after stinging anything. They chose to keep working

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I didnt think they were aware they'd die from it.

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

It’s basically impossible to gauge “awareness” of another creature, but aware or not, evolution would encourage them to save the sting.

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

That's not how evolution works. If an organism dies it literally cannot pass that information on. At best it would (...)

Beekeepers are crazy. My great-grandfather kept bees and was deathly allergic. Would tend with old timey smoker and just the head net thing.

And sometimes people live past 100 after smoking and eating like shit for their whole love, doesn’t mean they were smart to do those things.

Bees react to smell of humans. They know who takes care of them, my grandfather never wore potection apart from head net. They are wonderful

I'm guessing natural selection plays a heavy roll. Perhaps the specimens calmed by our scent lived to reproduce.
