2 hours i tried it again opened the top and about a few hundred blew up in my face
what are they trying to tell me
please help me.im from washington state
Was it cloudy?
Did you use smoke?
Were you wearing cologne?
Is there scratches like a skunk would leave on or near the bottom entrance?
There are numerous things that could cause it.
Just suit up well, smoke them well, work them on nice sunny, warm days.
**IT happens.....
i didnt smoke them i guess i need to do that
i also heard if you smell bananas get out is that true
my wife has been telling me to use smoke i guess shes right
i wasnt nervous but it is something a beekeeper has to deal with
it was like they wanted to kill me and i felt really confident in my bee suit that helps..
if i try to work my bee's without smoke well its bad ,there just tired of being messed with.
the gaurd bee are right on you. Im alwase walking around in front of the hives talking to them
i want them to get my smell ? i like to check on them and it freeks anyone that see's me.
I would rather french kiss a rattlesnake than work bees without smoke.
