Mega Stinging Fruit-like surprise.

Why aren’t 40,000 bees stinging me into oblivion? 🐝 It looks insane to drop a whole swarm onto the ground… but they barely react. Swarms are actually some of the calmest colonies you’ll ever meet. Bees aren’t aggressive by nature; they only defend a nest. And a swarm doesn’t have one yet, so there’s nothing to protect. 🐝 They’re also used to being jostled around. Even the lightest breeze or a landing on a flower shakes them more than you’d expect. 🐝 Protective gear is always recommended, but when you know what you’re doing and handle a swarm gently, the risk is surprisingly low. — © Hinterland Bees
