Stung!
February 24, 2009 4:48 pm Swarm Bee HiveDad got out today to have a look at the swarm hive. It was a beautiful day outside, at least 60 degrees. He was wearing the gloves and veil/hat, but when he opened the hive, the bees were a bit aggresive and one them stung him through his shirt. He put on a jacket.
We are going to start feeding the hive with sugar syrup. This will give them a little boost until spring arrives and the nectur flow is on. We are glad to see the hive is doing well and lasted over winter.

Hi, stumbled on your site from Beekeeping. I’ve been keeping bees for a year on the west coast of BC (canada) and am loving it. Definitely recommend getting a good suit!:) I haven’t been stung through mine yet.

I wondered whether you might prefer to look at bees from a safe distance.
