Nope -- in fact, I wasn't shaking hard enough. They really just want to get into the hive and start doing bee stuff. Honey bees are pretty docile. It usually takes quite a bit for them to get aggressive.

Evidently being thirsty does the trick. Across the road from my house, the guy leases space on his land for beekeepers to stage the bees there awaiting transport to different locations. Last summer it was very dry, and the bees would come to my house to the water container for my outside dog. My wife got stung twice while going to check the mail.

This is becoming a great thread to read.

Even with Grace getting stung she is still supporting this hobby. She is a tough cookie.

Now I would like to see Tom in the hat and gloves.

And by the way isn't it jizz not gizz??
