A very nice picture.
Thank you.
(I’ve never feared honey bees but something about me riles them and many commit suicide stinging me. It’s just pain.)

Honey bees pollinate everything from grass to our food. They are generally not aggressive, and unless you threaten the hive or start swatting at them they just go about their business gathering pollen and turning it into honey. If we don’t have bees, we have no food, so be nice to the honey bees!

Sylvia, at some point this hive split off from a larger hive, not exactly like but a little like kids growing up and leaving home and decided to build a hive here. Kathy is right, the man that got the bees takes excellent care of his bees and they will have a much better chance of making it through the winter under his care then they would out in the woods in a open hive.

Hate to see them out in the open, with winter around the corner. It would be a job to cut the comb and mount it on frames in a Hive—could help them survive the winter.

My only fear with bees is the Africanized honeybees (aka killer bees), they have been documented being in our area. I think they found some on a cargo ship in Mobile a few years ago.

Honey bees are our best friends, if they go extinct we will starve to death, so please leave them alone…

My dad had three bee hives when I was growing up. I have a horrible fear of bees, but not Honey bees. We would sit in our swing in the back yard with some syrup on our fingers, and watched the Honey bees land on our fingers and take the syrup. No stings. As long as you did not disturb their nest, they did not bother you. Honey bees are the only bee I love.
