Yesterday I went to a bee farm with my boyfriend. He is a bee keeper.
I have never been to a bee farm before, because I'm afraid of bees. But yesterday I thought that it is a high time to overcome my fear. When I came up to a beehive, I was amazed to watch these small noisy creatures. They were busy doing their duties and paid no attention to me. And my boyfriend told me that a bee's character (I mean whether it is aggressive or not) depends on its breed. His bees are kind.
My boyfriend removed honey from honeycombs without any protective clothes, not a single bee tried to bite him. I was standing next to him and watching the process, the bees still didn't pay attention to me. My sweetheart shew me a queen bee. It is two times bigger than other bees!
And by the way, have you ever eaten honey with honeycombs? It is simply delicious! New honey is soft and sweet and honeycombs taste like a chewing gum:)
Guess what is it? As for me, I had no idea before yesterday! It is a handcrafted equipment for melting beeswax!
Hot sun rays fall to the glass and melt wax. WOW!
After this wonderful excursion to a bee farm we went to the garden to make some photos and suddenly I felt that someone creeps down my leg. An insect. It was under my skirt. I lifted my skirt and saw a bee...
A bee under my skirt? Seriously?!
Yeah, that was a bee. So I wanted somehow to brush it away but suddenly it stung me! Oh my God, what an aches! May be that bee was jealous and considered me being a kind of competitress? My boyfriend cares about bees and loves them so much...but not them alone....ha-ha (I think you guessed what I mean). Well, bee's thoughts remained a mystery for me, lol :)
My boyfriend removed the sting from my leg, but it was too late. It turned out to be that I have bees allergy. My leg began to swell, it turned red!
It is not so clear in the picture below, but my leg was swollen.
Though it aches now, I don't regret about visiting a bee farm, I have learned a lot of interesting information and tasted the sweetest honey. I'll remember this dangerous adventure.
Hope you like this story!
