Bees rarely sting unwillingly. In most cases, they are gentle creatures and do not want to sting you, because almost the entire reproductive system and part of the intestinal tract are pulled out after bees sting people, which will lead to death. Therefore, in the instinct of survival, bees will not sting people easily. Bees will only sting people when they feel threatened. The main reason that bees sting people is man-made. Although bees don't want to sting people, we can't say that we fully understand bees. If we open the lid when bees are unhappy, a large number of bees may besiege us. What should we do if this happens?
In my opinion, we need to learn to solve the problem of being stung by bees, but learning to avoid being stung by bees is even more a problem. How can we avoid being stung by bees? In fact, we should pay attention to the following points. There are few chances of being stung by bees.
The first is to break a habit. Some friends think they are old beekeepers. When they enter the bee farm, they don't need any bee hats and jackets. They just open the box to check when they enter the bee farm. not bad You can do this when you know about bees, but there are many reasons why bees sting people. Even experienced beekeepers may not be able to fully understand. For example, when opening the box for inspection, the bees were irritated by being too rude, standing at the entrance of the nest to block the way for bees to get in and out, and killing bees when handling the bees. Especially when placing the stepbox, many of our friends made the bees squeak. Later, we can see a thick layer of compressed bee bodies between the main box and the stepbox. These methods will obviously attract bees to sting.
The second smell and color are usually ignored by beekeepers. Bees are sensitive insects. They are quite sensitive to many smells and colors. Although many of our bee keeping friends have known bees well, they are still unavoidably irritated. These behaviors are mainly reflected in clothing color, sweat smell, wine smell, garlic smell, perfume smell, etc. These are all things that we tend to neglect in the process of beekeeping, so we should protect ourselves even if we have enough experience.
The third time is wrong. For example, in the low temperature or honey shortage period, check the bee colony and bees for mild pesticide poisoning. At this time, the bees are on alert. If the bees are affected for a long time, they will naturally become angry. It is inevitable that they will be stung. Under these circumstances, we should protect ourselves. In fact, with complete protection measures, we don't worry about being stung by bees at all, but many friends may find a problem, that is, even if we wear protective clothing, we still feel a sense of fear when angry bees rush to us, then how can we avoid contact with angry bees? In fact, the method is very simple. For this kind of bee colony, we only need to smoke the bee colony first when we open the box for inspection.
The beekeeper's first line of defense against sting is the bee smoker. Bees receive smoke signals and begin to prepare for a hive fire. They begin to consume honey as quickly as possible, so that when they are ready to move the bees from the "burning" hive, they will have enough nutrition. Excessive honey will make bees fall into a food coma, and they become drowsy and less aggressive. Whenever you work with bees, it is important to use a smoke blower. This not only protects you, it also protects the hive.
It seems that these are all preventive measures, but what if we accidentally encounter a group of angry bees without protection? When we find that bees are flying around us and have been stung, many friends habitually pat their own bees, which will only make the bees more crazy. The correct way is to force calm and exit slowly. You can also take off your clothes and wrap your head in the process of exiting, and then head into the woods. In addition to the above encirclement, there are also cases of being chased. Should we run or stand still when being chased? It is good if you can exit slowly, but if the bees chase too hard and we have already run, don't run straight. Your two legs can't beat the wings of bees. The correct way is to turn the corner and run around the corner, so that a turn like this can shake off some bees, and finally all of them will be shaken off. Now that we have the means of prevention and escape, what if we are still stung? In fact, for many friends, being stung for a few times does not harm them. The most important thing is to make friends and relatives laugh for a few days. After two or three days, it will naturally disappear. As long as it is not allergic, bee venom is good for the human body, except for the pain at that time and the ugliness later. What if we are allergic? In fact, don't worry too much. As long as the sting is not too serious, we can usually solve it through the following methods. When you are stung, scrape out the sting needle with your fingernail, and then wash it with soapy water. If you don't even have soap, spitting out saliva to apply it has some effect, but if you have serious discomfort, you should go to a doctor immediately.
The above is about the practice of swarms attacking themselves in anger and the precautions when facing swarms. Generally speaking, they are novices when they are stung by bees. However, if they are stung frequently, they should consider whether they are correct when facing bees. I hope that the above contents can help the vast number of beekeepers.
