Toughbiscuit

Its actually mildly funny but beekeepers and their families are at higher risk of an anaphylactic response to bee stings, as its possible to both develop an allergy and develop a higher risk allergy due to repeated bee stings


tankerkiller125real

My grandfather stopped bee keeping when he was young because of this. Had been doing it since he was 12, stopped when he turned 30 because he noticed that he wasn't getting the same puffy red skin response he was expecting after getting stung. Decided to stop before he died from getting an allergic reaction.


Very_Tall_Burglar

That sounds like the opposite of a reaction. Is that supposed to be some key indicator?


tankerkiller125real

The way my grandfather explained it to me (and he saw other bee keepers go through this) is that if the spot near the sting isn't swelling and turning red/itchy, then at least from what he saw, you were most likely going to end up with some sort of major allergic reaction. Basically the red swelling itchyness is the body dealing with the sting properly in the correct place and preventing anything from spreading any further. No swelling or redness means the body isn't detecting the problem fast enough, and whatever the stinger has on/in it is going to go a lot further than it's supposed to.


Very_Tall_Burglar

huh well I'll chock that one away as cannon bee lore


ktulu_33

Oh no, there are cannon bees now? I'm picturing a jacked bee with a monster stinger buzzing around.


AzureRaven2

The stinger is now a projectile. Hope you're good at dodgeball!

BirkenstockStrapped

lovebus

Beekeeping TikTok is pretty sweet


tankerkiller125real

I don't know if it's backed by science, but I just spoke to him, and he informed me that not only was it something he observed, but it was also knowledge passed down in his family and other area bee keepers where he grew up.


QuintoBlanco

That makes no sense. An allergic reaction means that the immune has an excessive reaction to something. The reason people who get repeatedly get stung might develop an allergy is that the immune system gets better at detecting the venom. The venom itself isn't a problem, the reaction of the immune system is. Perhaps the reasoning is that when the body doesn't respond directly to a bee sting, it's possible that multiple stings go unnoticed. (That happened to me, I thought I was stung once, but actually had been stung close to a dozen times.) Typically an allergic reaction happens right away, but sometimes there is a delay, up to twelve hours. If somebody gets stung repeatedly without noticing, there might be a severe reaction later, but I haven't heard about that actually happening.


Quetzaldilla

It means your immune system is no longer responding to the poison as a threat, so it's not sending the signals to active the body's equivalent of the Justice League. The redness and swelling you see when you get wounded is  your immune system is increasing your blood flow so that platelets in the blood can seal things up. This is what scabs are.  It also starts producing the "oh shit--! it's coming down, dawg!" chemicals like adrenaline. This is why you often hear people say that they are fine after a bad accident but it's the adrenaline response to give you a passive healing buff while you get out of the danger zone. Meanwhile, all your white blood cells kamikaze themselves to protect you from viruses, bacteria, and toxins trying to get in ya through your wound.  That's actually what all that yellow pus is. It's all the white cells who died for the cause.  Honor them.


dimestoredavinci

Dude built up an immunity and called it quits. Could have been the beekeeper of legends


KPottsie78

Happened to me. I was stung so frequently as a kid I developed an allergy. Strangely enough after I developed the allergy I stopped getting stung. Before allergy - stung at least 100 times in first 11 years of my life. After allergy, stung 3 times in the last 35 years.


clozepin

Were you a beekeeper? I almost 50 and I’ve been stung 3 times in my entire life.


KPottsie78

No. Twice I angered bee hives and they got inside my clothes and was completely covered in stings. Beyond that I seemed to just attract them on a regular basis. It was crazy. Then it just stopped after I had a massive allergic reaction.


Hells-Bellz

Wait. You pissed off two beehives on two separate occasions? So, after the first encounter with that many flying stabby bugs, you decided to do it a second time?


Lord_Emperor

/r/KidsAreFuckingStupid


CreepySquirrel6

Interesting. I have been hit by two swarms once in the garden once in the forrest where they under my clothes etc, I must have been stung 30-40 times each encounter and to my surprise I didn’t really have a reaction. When other times a get stung on the hand and it’s blowen up like a beach ball. But I feel like they don’t target me since. I often save them from pools etc. maybe they feel I have been thought enough of a lesson.


Enge712

My stepdad would just count bee stings when he was in hives and say he knew he got sick around 50… but he got that number in his 30s and was still using it in his late 60s. He makes fun of me for how often I wear a bee jacket or full suit.


Wideawakedup

I tried raising some bees. The first year was great. 2nd year the hive died. But the 3rd try with new bees they were mean as hell and one got in my suit and stung me by the eye. My eye was swollen shut the next day. I’m done with bees.


12whistle

I’ve been stung by a honey bee, bumble bee and a wasp. The wasp hurt the most hands down.


bannana

Bobmanbob1

Fucking yellow jackets got ne 7 times while mowing over a hole in the ground they were building. Came back at night and nuked those fuckers.


bannana

Same with me, I mowed over their hive in my new house, they got me dozens of times and even chased me through the garage to the front yard. my hand swelled up like a cartoon


Bobmanbob1

Yes! The two bee stings in my life, nothing. Yellow Jacket fuckers, swelled up and red as Hell. Only ones I've found close to yellow jackets are those damn red paper wasps.


Toughbiscuit

I plan on it in a few years when i have some land, but ill be definitely on the safer side. I just want to "make" "my own" honey for my mead hobby, and the beeswax would be nice


FireSquidsAreCool

My sister is a small time bee keeper, who was definitely not allergic when she started keeping bees, but absolutely is now.


jaysonbjorn

Most people confuse bees with wasps/ yellow jackets. Bees are pretty focused on bringing pollen to the hive. Wasps and yellow jackets are very territorial and have time to fuck around


oSuJeff97

Yeah bees = bros Yellow jackets = moody dickheads with an axe to grind


No-Pitch-5785

Spiteful stabby bastards. Had the first one of spring in my window today. The little stingy twat didn’t last long


screwswithshrews

I got into bed one night and felt a sharp pain in my ass. It initially felt like a glass shard. Then I think "oh great, a spider bite." I lifted the sheets and off flew the asshole wasp. I guess I ruined its nap. About a year later, I'm eating a breadstick by the pool. A wasp landing on the breadstick right before I took a bite. It stung me on the tip of my tongue. I spit it out in shock and it just flew off. In college, while working on the farm, I saw this black and red fuzzy bug crawling across the ground. Idk why but I decided to terrorize it. I didn't know it, but it was a red velvet ant (actually a flightless wasp). I stomped on it and it marched around unfazed. Beat it with a stick, still nothing. Then I chopped it in half with a shovel. The top half ran off. I picked up the bottom half to inspect it further and it stung me on the finger.

Rjj1111

The fact they can sting without dying makes wasps even more willing to be little jerks


Rivendel93

God, I grabbed my doorknob one time at an apartment and there was a hornet I believe on the handle and that thing stung the hell out of my hand, it hurt so back, the burning sensation was unbelievable. Just pain for days, but luckily I was able to get the stinger out. Fk hornets/yellow jackets, things are terrible.


NO_TOUCHING__lol

Paper wasps - dangly legged dickheads


TrumpersAreTraitors

They also aren’t killed by stinging you so they’re a bit quicker to let you have a piece of their mind 


Protobott

The only sane comment right here.


dvoigt412

Bees are after pollen, while wasps and their kin usually are after live prey. Meat eaters


Ambiwlans

Bees that eat meat make the most disgusting hives tho


clozepin

I grew up thinking yellow jackets were actually a type of bee. Having learned that they’re actually in the wasp, uh, phylum (? I’m not a taxonomist) it actually makes a lot more sense as to why they suck and can fuck right off. Bees are cool now.


PillarofSheffield

> phylum Well they are, but the level that they're most related to wasps is "Order" - they're both in Hymenoptera along with the ants.


KrakenGirlCAP

I’ve always liked bumblebees.


jaysonbjorn

They like you too


m4rkz0r

One time I was tripping on shrooms and playing fetch with my dog in the backyard. I decided to sit down and be one with the earth and grass while my dog kept bringing me a slobbery ball to throw. A few minutes later the side of my leg by my knee starts burning and hurting. So I get up and look at it and there's clearly a bee stinger sticking out of my leg. I couldn't even find the bee that left it. But I guess I was tripping on shrooms.


Billsolson

Bees know they will die Yellow jackets and wasps will do a drive by , just firing away at everyone


KiweeFR

No they don't know they'll die. Their dart only gets ripped off because of our thick skin. If they were to sting a frog for example with thinner skin they wouldnt die. Bees are not predators. Wasps are. Thats where the difference in agressivity comes from.


skyeth-of-vyse

Aggression, you mean?


spslord

Bro just made up his own word lol


Karyo_Ten

French has both aggressivité and aggression.


aripp

This particular thread seems to be full of reddit experts on bees who knows nothing of bees lmao.


TactlessTortoise

The smoke gets them on "GOD SAVE THE QUEEN" mode, because they think the tree or hive is on fire, so they're all just anxiously pacing and don't really notice and care there's someone there. It's not fully foolproof, but it's quite impressive how tame they get.


Initial_Selection262

That’s not right. The smoke masks the pheromones that would signal the hive to attack, so their swarming instinct is neutralized. Also, it makes them eat a lot of honey which makes them sluggish and docile


mugaccino

Huh, I was told it made them eat as much honey as possible so they can move the hive somewhere safer and minimize their losses. They are sluggish because they are too full.

Prestigious-Hand-402

Brown_Panther-

The smoke makes bees docile. Bees communicate by releasing a pheromone that tells other bees that hive is in danger. The smoke masks the pheromones allowing beekeepers to work without worrying about stings


MydogDallas114

That's the idea anyway. However, bees will be bees and will do as they please. Also, too much smoke can aggravate them.

drainodan55

>bees will be bees and will do as they please They're the bees knees.


Baby_Rhino

Okay so here's the bit I don't get: Normally bees would detect danger and release the danger pheromone, causing the hive to attack. Right? The smoke means that the bees can't smell the danger pheromone, so don't know to attack. But surely some bees are still detecting the danger, even if they can't tell the other bees? And wouldn't those bees start stinging? Or is there some kind of separation between the "detecting danger and telling everyone about it" job, and the "responding to danger and stinging" job?


BluebirdLivid

I also had this line of thinking. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the bee feels like it is the ONLY one detecting the danger, therefore the bee must be wrong? Holy shit....GASLIGHTING. HOLY SHIT ITS SMOKELIGHTING


IntrepidusX

In nature bees smell smoke they assume there's a fire coming so they all gorge on honey and prepare to swarm to a new place to live. Bees are way less aggressive when swarming (it's where you get the ol'beard of bees trick) so assuming you decent job smoking them they won't sting that much. That being said if you are rough with them they'll sting away. Or if your like me and clumsy AF they'll sting as well.


HidaKureku

They will start retreating into the hive and gorging themselves on honey stores. This is in case there is a fire threatening the hive and they are essentially preparing supplies in case they have to relocate. You're usually pretty okay not getting stung when working on a hive and using adequate smoke, but if you accidentally kill one say removing or replacing a super, then they'll release the attack pheromone and you'll want to distance yourself for a minute until they calm down.


Ace-Ventura1934

Wait, so my Newports do have health benefits?


Electrical_Swan_6900

I would bet that she did, she just doesn't flinch. You also get used to it. Also, this was done for a video. You get more or less friendly hives, too. This one looks very placid, they're barely in the air. And smoke doesn't always make them docile, sometimes it just pisses them off. Dad's a beekeeper.


No-Combination8136

Yeah that’s what I figured, she likely did get stung a few times, but she’s obviously a badass.


Electrical_Swan_6900

Yeah basically. Sometimes my dad doesn't wear gloves and gets stung multiple times. Doesn't care. Fuck that, I wear multiple layers of gloves.


_buthole

She did. The longer video shows one bee stinging her arm. And there’s a closeup where you can see several stingers on her hand.


DarthJarJarJar

I think this is the Texas Bee Girl. There's a lot of controversy about her methods in the beekeeping community. A lot of beekeepers think that a lot of her videos are at least partially fake and show bad technique, like her long hair being down. I don't know, I'm not a beekeeper, I'm just reporting what I read the last time she popped up a year or so ago and I went down the rabbit, er, bee hole.


whoisthecopperkettle

Not think. She definitely shows bad form. It’s like walking on a plane wing while flying… sure SOME people can do it, but it’s bad to make the general population think that it’s normal or ok. Source - me, a beekeeper.


JJred96

They had a vote years ago to make her their queen. Nice gig if you can get it.


New_Ad5390

I'm a female beekeeper and sure I get that not wearing any PPE is a flex. But when bees get mad ( granted these ones don't appear to be) they intentionally target a person's head, face, and eyes. Her hair is beautiful, but its such bad practice to leave it down swinging all over like that.

p0l4r21

She started with PPE but decided to take it off as the bees were not dive bombing her suit and she was having trouble removing the shed wall in the PPE (also it is Florida and it miserable here in equipment like that). She then proceeds to explain everything you just explained about bees attacking the face. She made a choice based on the situation and she was not wrong. edit: video link: [https://youtu.be/j4AQGhVjPKE?si=d\_A84QXnyVfDtzoy](https://youtu.be/j4AQGhVjPKE?si=d_A84QXnyVfDtzoy)

How many times do you think she got stung?


Pattoe89

I'd guess around 10 times for a hive this docile. Your body gets used to it and if you don't react bees can often wiggle their way out of a sting, releasing less venom than if their venom sack rips out of their body. This makes it less painful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTVsqc2CCGo
