#honeydrunk

When bees swarm, it's because they are looking for a new home. They also gorge on honey before they leave their old hive, so they are a bit Honey drunk when they finally cluster on a tree branch. This is why they are so calm, their main focus is finding a new home. If you see a swarm, the worst thing you can do is try to kill it with pesticides. Don't do it! Look up your local beekeeper or beekeeping association and they will happily collect the swarm. 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝😉 ----- #honeycrate #beefacts #swarms #swarm #swarmseason #bees #honeybee #hive #savethebees #honeydrunk #beekeeping #beebox #honeybox #monthlysubscription #subscriptionbox #subscription #subbox #tweet

Ever wondered why beekeepers use smoke when working with bees? Bees communicate in a variety of ways, one being scent. When smoke is puffed into a hive, it disrupts and overpowers the natural pheromones in a hive. It also triggers the bees to go into somewhat of a survival mode and gorge on honey, which distracts them away from the beekeeper. Finally, as the bees fill up on honey, they become "honey-drunk" and typically a bit more docile. Overall the effect of the right amount of smoke is that the bees move away from the beekeeper and become a bit calmer. ----- #beefacts #honeycrate #bees #smoke #smoker #calm #honeydrunk #hive #colony #honeybee #themoreyouknow #beekeeping #beekeeper #beesmoker #pheromones #nature #naturelover #naturalresponse #smokeemifyougotem #smokey
