A stupid Chinese man went with his cameraman into the forest, where they came across a nest of wild bees. Probably due to the popularity of the video, he started beating and provoking bees into the nest. The bees attacked them. Both received multiple stings and were taken to hospital in critical condition. Both died.

As a beekeeper i can confirm THIS was a horrible idea. Some stings brake off the ass end of the bee and it KEEPS pumping venom into the enemy until you get the stinger out of it runs dry (not what you want). Some just sting you through the clothing so the bottom half of those guys is NOT ok ether. Depending on the type of bee... Italian honey bees for example are mostly calm...African honey bees will fuck you up fast. All defend the hive to the death. Not a good way to go. Swelling, heavy feeling in the chest, paranoid feeling of fear which helps drive away predators from the hive, burning and finally hard to breathe than CANT breath. Not. Fun.

Make sure you are not allergic to bee venom. Anaphylactic shock can be deadly. We really need bee's for our own existence. "Save a bee, eat your honey"

Bout 7 years of beekeeping. No its pretty chill depending on the climate. Hot is good but russian bees keep ok in cold. They can be a pain to keep alive sometimes because of pests like hive beetles and wax moths. The honey is awesome and the stings are good for arthritis in the joints but only certain types and small amounts. Yes you can do it as a hobby next to full time work. Biggest thing is make sure they have sunlight its part of how they navigate. You can feed them suger water as a substitute in the winter and make sure your hives are raised above the ground with grease around the pillars of the foundation..ants are a bitch. Most of the time they take care of themselves tho. C.c.d or colony collapse disorder is a real big bitch. They just leave..no reason we can tell just gone lol. Also do not use chemicals they are super sensitive to chemicals you have to watch out for Vero mites as well. And it seems odd but you have to use a chemical to kill a bug on another bug LOL it can be crazy sometimes but they're super sensitive to chemicals so you have to use just the right amount. The main benefit to having them is if there is a garden around you or some type of plant life they pollinate like crazy if you want a big Garden get a beehive. There are other ways to make your garden awesome but combining it with a beehive just makes it explode. It's about $300 or $400 to get started never use plastic in your hive always wood they love wood. I hope you enjoy it. I sure do.

We have a huge problem with Giant Asian wasps in the southern US. They can wipe out a honey bee hive in no time.

Dude you sound like a reasonable beekeeper and not like a commercial one. I heard these styropor hives used in our country are molding like shit naturally a bee would live in Wood, in The middle ages they used these sticks weaved to a basket and filled with clay so it woudnt get humid what do you think about them ?

Removing a stinger gently with a knife or something without squeezing more venom in is a pain, I can't imagine trying to remove hundreds.

I've done it by grabbing the shaft between two keys.
