Very nice! I loved having my bee hive...they're great insects to have around! It is a lot of hot work, sometimes to keep them protected from pests and make sure they have enough space to be happy, but it's a rewarding practice. She seems to really have a manner with them!

I used to have a few bee hives and Caucasian bees are very docile and can be approached like she has done in the video. I think most of the wild honeybees we see now in florida are unfortunately africanized bees. If you get a chance do a youtube search on giant asian honey bees and wow those are really amazing bees!

Honestly, never really tried anything quite like that. I usually just ended up with them all over my back when I was checking the hive.

That's a fascinating hobby! I've never had hives but I did give some bees honey when I was a little kid. They loved it and so did their friends so I put out some more honey. In about an hour, I had as many bees as Greg's sister, all over the sidewalk. LOL. Nobody walked past our house that day. :D
