Bees and Stress

Like all other living beings bees can feel fear. Sometimes bees because of the fear and emotional experience leave hives with honey and breeding and family perishes. Bees suffer a lot, when someone ravages their hives.

Huge harm to bee family can cause dismantling of hive and frequent examination of hive with usage of smoke. Bees stop gathering honey and blow the steam out of the hive they think that fire has started.

After such intervention a bee family will miss 5 pounds of honey. If a beekeeper makes examination every week, he will lose more than 75 pounds of honey from 1 bee family during the summer.
