Psychology has an important part to play in the
management of honey bees.
Feeling secure and well-protected plays a big part in handling honey bees.
The beekeeper who has protective light color ventilated working attire and a calm attitude knows that careful handling of honey bees is highly in his favor.
The experienced beekeeper works calmly with his bees, avoiding any disturbing action.
A small amount of smoke at the beginning of handling the hive will do a lot to calm the defensive honey bees.
A bonding is established between the apiarist and his bee colonies.
It can be a sweet undertaking!
