i used to work for a bee keeper....when a small boy...i used to crawl around the rose bushes and wiggle over to the hives and watch the beeès coming and going.....it was intregging to say the least....until i left a shadow on the entrance and as i watched two excited bees zero in on me from the small entrance....i had no idea what would happen....but they deffinately communicated and zoom they were in my hair and i got a first hand example of their defense system........i could not figure out why the had become so aggressive and stingingly defensive..........years have gone by and so has the farm and the beeès and bushes- but one of the greatest of bee keeping scientific revelations and mans psychiatric modes came about in france during the reign of some LOUIS the what-ever
it was noted and believed and accepted up to that time...that the center throng of the hive....was the KING bee
that is the queen bee was thought to be the king bee.......not speaking of drones...or males of the species...but it was noted often....by the LEARNED of the influential circles....and i do not say this enlightly.....THAT THE CENTER ATTENTION GETTER OF THE HIVE HAD TO BE THE KING""";"WHY?""""ANSWER :::::BECAUSE HE HAD SO MANY SERVANTS
i do not recall who broke the bubble of ignorance......but near riots broke out when it was prooved that the so called KING was laying eggs.......but that was france ,itis documented.......and gives us...or me any-way a fine insite into historicle BORACLES
the responses remained unchanged to many of the LEARNED POPULOUS...that the king be had to be a king bee.....BECAUSE HE HAD SO MANY SERVANTS
this is a little worn out fact from where.....?
good question
because the art of bee-keeping was a total eurasian continental thing from centuries india,china,japann,thialand,even northern russia and sweeden before those boundries existed....and a lot of the religeous texts of the persian texts as well as alliterations to john from the land of milk and honey etc
my only statement in the cold-warmth of scientific investigation is this.....a bee knows how to be a bee
individualy they do a variety of jobs......and change jobs.......
they do not see the color red......generally but there were some small black ones that i recall that did...they could be extinct now......i have not seen them for years.
as far as attack methods.....it is not a hap-hazard retaliation
they have response sensors....and to get between their liht source is one of them.
but if you approach a hive.......one or two will check you out by flying near,and resonating with yr sweat
then if they feel you a threat they will fly directly into and collide with thespot directly between and above yr eye-brows
think about this....their vision spectrum is into the ultra-violet-
that collision drops them into the gras or ground near your feet....the daze up and slowly circle around in a climbing circle then zero in on nose and eyes,or mouth...any wet and to them smelly or fragrant or what sciences have termed pharemone activators...and if they have connected with the right chemical comboès...they will sett the alarm to others
if you kill or squash one that oder is also near immediatly sensed...and their protection mechanism is locked in
bears are their and bee-keepers most usual nuisances
so wearing dark clothing can trigger bee riots
it is an interesting studdy
what is termed bee propylus....has a neet hive use,as well as people use,i think it comes from early conifer and poplar,perhaps willow buds,and bee-pollen is really flower pollen.......that for some synergizm nature has equipped these friends with
the very annalysis if wax cone configuration is too a mathameticians and structural engineers mental saliva
this little discertation per-haps is a hopeful share to this site
to me the beeès in our world are sometimes only rememberd because we FERDANANDED and sat under a tree on a bee and contributed to the speed-butt reflex
but there is a key here that could be something that some-one reading this may recall or bee more aware of
there is a mite problem with bees......the mites are small preditors that choke off a bees air supply
the last 40 yrs plus have seen very heavy use of chemical crop sprays used,and some of the bee-hive chemicals are very toxic to keepers and pests alike
one of the systems my grand-father used to use was greasy-bacon patties with peppr-mint leaves
thyose who studdy essential oils may find an inner-smile here.
those mites do not thrive in a mint environment
as some of the finest honeys are mountan flower-powerd.....these are precious and difficult to harvest....bears love us to set hives in these areas
one of the difficulties in bee-kepts now is called colony collapse disorder
there is no sign of what happens...but in a month a colony can almost completely disappear......it is empty of itès usual active workers...they do not return
some of the ideas presented is that they could be too run-down from the mites
another is that the latest crop sprays are of a tobbacco-derivative that got re-vamped because the tobbacco fields have lost their markets but the chemical labs needed a market from the market they lost
ièm throwing this out to my fellow alternate practioners.........even those who are aware of PH balancing and acid -base relations.......because if you look at yr gardens some plants thrive in acidic soils....some in a more basic nature
ps...i remember a beekeeper who used to take a few bees over to a man who was paralized...his wife would sting him ,as it was thought to aleviate and eventually remove the paralysis
i didnèt go in to watch...but asked if it was working...the bee keeper said...i hope so....cause i donèt like the idea of getting stung and not being able to get away.....since then
yup since then iève been more impressed with what can happen just with touch and the change to cerebral spinal fluids
a lot of words for the thrive of the hive....beest to ya
