I see that Ali was f@#king around with his bees again and got stung on the lip. First off, both my husband and I have never been stung when working our hives (now 20 but might be 19 soon). Second, how do you get stung on the face with a hood on? If one got under his hood then he better start Duck (brand name) taping his pant leg and arm openings. This is why you buy a larger suit than needed. My husband has a large suit (he's small) and he wears shorts and a tank top but tapes off all openings. He stays cool and if a bee tries to sting through the canvas material it is not right up against his skin. I've always said his bees are aggressive acting. Bees only sting when they are in protect mode. Did he not smoke them before he opened up the hive? Why is he always looking for the queen? Believe me you will know if the queen is gone because you will have lost part of your colony, too. You can tell the colony size just by watching the comings and goings of the bees. I know how much action I should be seeing because I observe my hives from afar nearly every day. I wonder when he will harvest his first batch of honey. Probably never, now. He is probably skeered of getting his trademark pout altered. What a dolt.
