[QUOTE="Wknz, post: 3231, member: 175"] Smoker going well. Full bee suit. Gloves .. leather gardening for sensitivity as the bee gloves are quite thick and clumsy for delicate work. Then switched to full leather bee gloves Trust me .. they werent just buzzing me. A guard bee pinging you is noisy. Multiple bees sitting on your mesh absolutely amped up and trying to make your life a misery is another thing. 8 - 10 Bees swarming your gloves and stinging while standing away from hive. Not buzzing. Ive had an aggressive hive before that an experienced beek raised their eyebrows at the level of aggressiveness. This one make that look like a picnic in the park. They are looking to take on people if you are standing closer than 3 meters. They hunted me down around the house even after being inside. Was out of site of the hive and 20 meters away. A friend came around 20 mins later and got agggressed by a bee on the other side if the house. These are ticked off nasty little beggars. I noted near jan a change in behaviour. Since then it's got worse. Compared to hive sitting beside it and my other two hives in other location this one is over the top mental. Weve had more people stung in one fortnight than previous two years with other hives. [/QUOTE]
