Do bees know their keeper?

[MikeyN.C.]

Incognito,
My lemon walkers were winders, whereas my treeing walkers are trailing dogs

[Michael Bush]

I had some ferocious bees who would hang out on the other side of the house, 100 yards from the hives and wait for me to come out.  They weren't stinging other people, but as soon as I walked out the door they would nail me.  They definitely know me.  And waited for me.

Howdy Barefoot, could you explain WOKE.  One of the many I don?t understand.  Thanks Sir.
All good things.

Woke is being in the know of all this modern social political concerns and how we don?t discriminate against anyone. It?s a more individual outlook etc - just thinking civilization hasn?t really changed just our outlook.

.......Before them, under the garden wall,
   Forward and back,
Went drearily singing the chore-girl small,
   Draping each hive with a shred of black.

Trembling, I listened: the summer sun
   Had the chill of snow;
For I knew she was telling the bees of one
   Gone on the journey we all must go!

Then I said to myself, ?My Mary weeps
   For the dead to-day:
Haply her blind old grandsire sleeps
   The fret and the pain of his age away.?

But her dog whined low; on the doorway sill,
   With his cane to his chin,
The old man sat; and the chore-girl still
   Sung to the bees stealing out and in.

And the song she was singing ever since
   In my ear sounds on:?
?Stay at home, pretty bees, fly not hence!
   Mistress Mary is dead and gone!?

That is hilarious: bees lying in wait!!!   You must have angry off the parent hive.  How long was the revenge of the bees:  days???  Weeks??
Cheers

I used to have one rough hive that at least once a week, one bee would come out of the hiveand sting me between my eyebrows. No one else was  being stung and I was just walking from the house to my workshop.

They put out a hit on you!

Until they were requeened for a while.
