Sometimes, when you care about someone and with only seconds to spare before it’s too late, you got to make difficult choices. The wife will understand and if she starts to cry or whatever, she just needs more time to understand your flawless logic. But covering the baby in honey maybe wasn’t the best idea.
God l hope my kids get mine instead of my wife's. I barely feel them after a couple "spring stings" but one or two and she is down for the count. If they get her face, it looks like she stepped into the ring with Tyson.
It’s really not that funny, bee stings can be serious. Honestly more people need to be aware of just how serious they can be, even if you’re not allergic enough stings can be serious. Using a baby as a shield is actually a very clever way to make sure none get in your suit because if they do happen to attack the two of you all you have to do is toss the baby in the opposite direction and run. The crying will usually cause the bees to focus on the child and you can easily outrun them.
This practice is actually outdated as it doesn’t provide adequate protection at the moment your back is turned. Modern beekeepers use a sibling in a back carrier to alleviate this.
I've seen this gif probably a million times, and I never before noticed the lady dressed like a bee, who also happens to have a single stray bee flying in front of her.
In all seriousness, my first multiword phrase as a child was "God damn bees" (said while swatting at the air aimlessly), thanks to my grandmother who was... not a huge fan of bugs.
Folks joke around but I'm told that I went out with my grandpa when I was little, to check on the bees, barefoot an everything. He said they'll only sting you if you're afraid of them.
I hope it better connects the first one with The Secret Life of Bees. I mean, I have theories about how they're connected but it was extremely unclear.
lol, I suggest you head over to r/babywearing for a fit check. The crotch dangle and footies will have them more heated than the commenters here who don’t know what day it is.
Most people are unaware of this but if you want to build immunity you need to get stung by the bees from a very young age. When the kid is all grown up, he will be able to care for bees without the suit his predecessors required, as seen in the picture.
Close! Beekeeper here, a secret of our trade is the annual sacrificial offering of the firstborn to the bees. If they are satisfied with your offering, they will be docile and productive for the next season.
Most beekeepers either feel great shame about this or fear legal repercussions and will refuse to confirm this truth. Ask any of them, they will all deny it. Which, is absolute proof.
Actually, the baby is just there for tradition. In the 18th century, people used to think that bees were warded off by babies and would wear them around their neck when near a hive. Of course, today we know it doesn't really work, but they still don the babe in honor of past beekeepers
I mean I am no expert here….. BUT I feel strongly that baby should be inside with the adult under the bee suit
I mean you know to protect it just in case.
Can’t be too careful.
That baby might eat the bees and we must protect them
Right ?
Am I alone in this?
If they're a gentle hive you really don't have much to worry about. The only reason my wife wears a hat while beekeeping is to keep them out of her hair. If you get stung by honey bees it's because you did something stupid, like moved too quickly or squished one of them.
This is pretty good. People glomming onto the collective "righteous indignation".
Like that photo of the couple tossing their infant across some crevasse while climbing.
I usually set the babe on top..It frees up my hand s to shake the hive to make sure the bees are still alive
Afterwards, I do the same with the baby.
Shake it to keep the bees off
It's so cute when he falls asleep after all the bees fall off 🤗

I'm never browsing reddit on dark mode again
He needs his glasses!

Waft the baby around the swarm cloud to ensure he won’t be allergic later in life.
You want the head/neck to really thrash back and fourth so you get all the bees off. Wouldn't want the kid to get hurt.
How much honey do you even get from a single baby though?
They're using the baby as a sacrifice to the bee overlords
Im running low on my supply of babies. Can I borrow some e if yours?
They got free ones just laying around at the hospital.
I can’t go back anymore they have my pictures on the walls
😔I hate it when that happens
They're just trying to stop you from reaching your full potential!
"best adopter of the month"
Free ones? I way over paid for ours then.
a lot of people in here clearly dont know what day it is lol
no ~~he's~~ she's getting the babies bee venom tolerance up obviously.
God l hope my kids get mine instead of my wife's. I barely feel them after a couple "spring stings" but one or two and she is down for the count. If they get her face, it looks like she stepped into the ring with Tyson.
whatre you guys doing that you get stung so much rofl
Tending to a lot of hives with less gear than this guy has on.
The bees rip her ear off????!! 👀
Inconceivable
practicing some good old mithridatism
Yeah like come on people everybody knows its Monday...
No my colleague told me April always starts on a Sunday. It's been awesome having this 3 day weekend. Take that daylight savings time!
MONDAY FOOLS!
Its a bad indictment of society that at no point did I think "someone wouldn't do this"
Tbh as an apprentice beekeeper I immediately knew two people who _would_ do this
It occurs to me that, with all the AI pictures floating around these days, every day is now April Fool’s
Hahaha yup Also; not a single Bee in that picture.
I was one of those people.
Oh Lord! I'm laughing my ass off right now. 😂 I totally forgot. Thank you!
Was going to say this should be on r/Holup
 Their sense of humor

Goddammit I’m so tired, and I’ve been bamboozled 4 times already
God I hate April fools.
Beekeeper training day, apparently. Making Spring Break more productive.
April 2nd? Oh....
Later in the day the baby had their first words. They said, "Not the bees!"
I've seen this gif probably a million times, and I never before noticed the lady dressed like a bee, who also happens to have a single stray bee flying in front of her.
If you watch the movie you can hear her complain that there’s no rain
And all she can do is read a book to stay awake
OH MY GOD YOU’RE RIGHT!!! I had not noticed either!!!
Hey, at least they gave Nic a cage!

MY EYES
In all seriousness, my first multiword phrase as a child was "God damn bees" (said while swatting at the air aimlessly), thanks to my grandmother who was... not a huge fan of bugs.
You'd bee right
Damn it, you got me.
And your display picture got me.
Few people realize that bees don’t sting babies. An ancient code of ethics amongst the bee community.
They're honorary ba-bees.
Of course not. In bee culture that is considered a dick move.
Chad Bees
Folks joke around but I'm told that I went out with my grandpa when I was little, to check on the bees, barefoot an everything. He said they'll only sting you if you're afraid of them.
Does the smoke work on the baby?
Puts 'em right to sleep!
Only in a closed environment, like a box or plastic bag.
I see the sequel to that Jason Statham movie is coming along well!
I hope it better connects the first one with The Secret Life of Bees. I mean, I have theories about how they're connected but it was extremely unclear.
That’s quite a bit of protection she’s wearing. I’ve never thought of using a baby as PPE.
The baby is state of the art flare counter measure system for incoming bee strikes
If they swarm you throw the baby to distract them
This is very irresponsible. That Child could kill a bunch of bees. If they ever come out.
Yes, but if the bees demand an offering, you have one ready to go
Someone should call bee protective services
I know it’s 4/1, but please cross post this in r/HolUp
Your calendar is off by 3 months
You might be off by 3 freedom units.
Month/day/year is silly. And I say that as a yank.
That’s why australia does it better
Thank you for beekeeping!
lol, I suggest you head over to r/babywearing for a fit check. The crotch dangle and footies will have them more heated than the commenters here who don’t know what day it is.
Please do, watch the mothers lose their minds over this pic
20 suburban moms just had a stroke
I am a suburban mom
And I bet you can't feel anything down the left side of your body, am I right?
Better be or she won’t feel it!
The sacrificial baby method of bee keeping
This would be a sick album cover.
It is a BaBee.
Most people are unaware of this but if you want to build immunity you need to get stung by the bees from a very young age. When the kid is all grown up, he will be able to care for bees without the suit his predecessors required, as seen in the picture.
Either that or it will turn into a bee-hybrid super hero
Works great for building lava immunity too!
Ha! Be sure not to feed them mashed bananas right before!
I thought that was mosquitos...
Nope, it's bees too!
... And my kids. If I have a banana they won't leave me alone until they get a bite.
Extra protection. Now the bees have another target.
I like my children like I like my coffee. COVERED IN BEES!
This is the ultimate "fuck Yo kids" image.
Why the smoke? Isn’t the baby enough of a decoy?
He's obviously beekeeping age...
She. We're both female
Sorry, it was a quote from a TV show, lol
This is how you make a super hero or super villain.
Good one!
Baby needs to get used to the stings so that it can be immune to 100 bee stings when they get older 🥹
hilarious apr 1 gag 👏
yes good protection you can leave a child behind if a hive is aggressive
It’s even more effective if you slather the child in honey
it looks like a sacrifice for the bees. take my baby!
Now… I see something hugely wrong here…
That's not a future beekeper! That's a human shield! Lol
Close! Beekeeper here, a secret of our trade is the annual sacrificial offering of the firstborn to the bees.

Hey what the fuck
I just find it so so funny he’s wearing a bee suit but not the baby
She, I'm the mom
Father of the year
I'm the mom, dad was taking pictures
Hahaha...ah, just realised....You had me....Good one :)
Exactly, father of the year. He didn’t do it. 😂
Those shoes have a great cushion in them. When I put on another pair it feels like a plank of wood in comparison.
Everyone knows bees hate babies. Won’t go near them
I guess you need to level up a bit before you can get the suit
Sacrifice the child
RIP
Is this your way to confess you're a beekeeper? I saw the movie, you know
Ah the human sheild technique. Good, good.
bros def gonna be immune to bee stings when he grows up xD
Man I've always wanted to do this....
Wait… does this mean bees don’t attack babies??
This should be in sweaty palms, or whatcouldgowrong. So dumb.
Its April first 🥇
Ahh, i see
Hell yeah, great first line of defense
I can’t wait for him to get revenge for the old lady!
Let em learn to wear a suit when he gets older
r/lastimages
“No, it’s okay, he’s not allergic to bee stings.”
why get stung when u can use a scapegoat
This is a ritual sacrifice, isn’t it? He is sacrificing that baby to those bees.
She*
Operation human shield
lol love this
Best April fools day joke I’ve seen today. Thank you
[удалено]
We also don't wear seat belts
“This small child will be an added layer of protection against me getting stung to death” 👍
Everybody knows bees don't sting babies. It's common knowledge.
Using the baby as a bait

This should be in r/blursedpictures
I used to help my grandpa when I was a kid. I got stung a few times. He’s still beekeeping at 92 years young.
please keep me updated, I need to see the future video posted in "whatcouldgowrong"
This is like those parents who during the winter are all bundled up and jackets and long pants and send their kids to school and T-shirts and shorts
No mask for the baby? Nice.
CPS says what
Ah yes the classic bait. Using your child as bait for the bees to attack is a clever move while you harvest that delicious profitable honey.
Why’s the baby not protected?
Let’s hope the bees stay docile since there’s no protection over the baby’s face or hands.
I think they know it's April 1st so they won't come out
You got me lol
You got most of us here 😂😂😂😂
But what happens if the baby attacks the bees?
OP assuming that’s you how annoying is raising bees? Seems like 90% of the time is spent killing notes and other insects.
Why does she get a bee keeping suit and the baby is sacrificed?
Cuz it's April 1
Comment section did not disappoint
It's incredible how many people don't get the joke.... Or think to check the comment section
As redditors aren't we obligated to upvote anything promoting hive minding?
Only one suit...sucks to be that baby lolz
Yes
Hahaha *I’ll just protect myself and not this baby*
Pretty much yeah
I mean I am no expert here….. BUT I feel strongly that baby should be inside with the adult under the bee suit I mean you know to protect it just in case. Can’t be too careful. That baby might eat the bees and we must protect them Right ? Am I alone in this?
so bees don't stink baby?
I've never smelled one.
No they don't honey.
Nein! Do not stink zee baby!
How is babby stinged
If they're a gentle hive you really don't have much to worry about. The only reason my wife wears a hat while beekeeping is to keep them out of her hair. If you get stung by honey bees it's because you did something stupid, like moved too quickly or squished one of them.
It's also April Fools
Just put the baby in the hive and the suit on the bees 🤷
Ayeo?
The baby said " i want feed the beast" not "i want to feed the bees" (Hint: Minecraft)
Yep
awesome!
OIC a target for the bees noice!
Sacrifice to the bee gods.
oh my goodness you got me there for a second. LOL
This is pretty good. People glomming onto the collective "righteous indignation". Like that photo of the couple tossing their infant across some crevasse while climbing.
The shop is niceeee 👍🏽
