Or call your local bee keeper cuz I fear and respect bee’s

People are asking about the no gloves:

Beekeeping gloves are bulky! It’s difficult to be delicate with them on, which is a problem. When you’re moving bees, the goal is to Not Smash Any, because a smashed bee becomes an ALERT beacon to the rest of the bees, who become alarmed and may start stinging.

If the bees are relatively calm, many keepers (myself included) prefer going gloveless so we can be precise and delicate to avoid smushing anyone!

Beekeepers all have preferences when it comes to safety gear that varies depending on the job they’re doing! I personally like to be more suited up if I’m going to move/mess with a queen, but to each their own.

That all said, no gloves, although not always adviseable, isn’t actually as scary as it seems! 🍓
