Relatively speaking, bees don't sting their hands. Bee's eyes are compound eyes, which are sensitive to moving things and insensitive to static things. I believe many friends have had the experience of poking a honeycomb when they were young. Relatively speaking, if we run, we usually get stung. If we don't move for a while, bees usually fly away, while our hands are relatively static. As long as we don't move fast and slowly when operating, bees won't sting people.
Can smoking reduce bee bites? That's for sure, because bees are afraid of smoke. Once we smoke, the attack ability of bees will be weakened, and they will hide in places where there is no smoke. Even if we have a spleen examination, bees are not easy to sting, so in this case, even if we don't wear gloves, they are not easy to sting.
Bees don't attack people easily. If it is a normal bee colony, bees are not easy to attack people. Even if we check the spleen out of the box, the bees are relatively quiet as long as they are not rude and do not kill them. But if it is a long-term sick bee colony, the bees will lose their king, and the bees will be relatively aggressive because of the unsafe factors in the bee colony. In this case, bees can easily attack people.
The first way to reduce bee bites is to keep your body clean.
Bees don't like pungent smell, so if you want to check the bee colony, you'd better take a bath before checking the bee colony, and don't eat anything with pungent smell, such as garlic. If the body sweats too much, it is easy to cause bee stings.
Second: wear light clothes.
Bees are sensitive to dark clothes, so we'd better wear light clothes when checking the bee colony and keep the clothes clean to avoid being stung by bees.
Third: standardize the operation.
When we check the bee colony, we should be gentle and steady, and don't kill the bees, because once a bee in the bee colony is killed, the dead bee will send out a distress pheromone, which will trigger attacks from other bees. Therefore, when we open the box for inspection, we can spray a thin layer of smoke on the surface of the bee spleen after opening the honeycomb cover to tame the bees. Never move the bees on the ear of the rack by hand without smoking, which will easily lead to bee sting. At the same time, move slowly when lifting the spleen, not too violently, which will cause the bees to be uneasy.
Beekeepers with a small number of bee stings have little feeling. In fact, relatively speaking, we beekeepers don't take a small number of bee stings seriously at all. Many friends who don't keep bees are immediately dealt with in various ways. In fact, in the process of beekeeping, we are not immune from bee stings. We are often stung, but we are used to being stung. Many times, we don't even feel anything. We just gently remove the stinging bees and continue to work.
Relatively speaking, it is quite normal for us to be stung two or three times a day, and there is nothing to make a fuss about. When Bian Xiao of the bee tribe accidentally put his foot in front of the bee when killing mites, it is estimated that he accidentally trampled the bee to death. I attracted a group of bees to sting my ankle, maybe dozens of times, but I still felt a little serious. I couldn't bend my back for two days in a row, but there was still no problem after it passed. Although it doesn't matter that we are stung by a small amount in the process of beekeeping, it is still very dangerous if we are stung seriously. For example, Bian Xiao, a bee tribe, caused low back pain after being stung, which should lead to renal insufficiency, so a large number of bee stings should be avoided in breeding.
