Hello dear friend, client and fellow honey fiend.
After many requests, finally I did it.
For "it" I mean, to write about reasons for African bees’ innate defensiveness and how to prevent and survive subsequent attacks.
Basically, to understand their behaviour and to be “street wise” when having to deal with them.
It’s title? "African (Killer Bees) survival guide", and you can find it in my November issue of my Newsletter
-The fear of the unknown is what scares people most.
I would be most fulfilled if somehow the information in the newsletter would empower people for them to comprehend reasons for (African) bees behaviour and ultimately feeling safer and happier in their presence.
Perhaps schools could be encouraged to pass on the relevant information from i.e.
-How to avoid being stung.
-What to do when a swarm attacks.
Ever since the dawn of man honeybees have been regarded as representing goodness, happiness, wealth, fulfilment in life, healthy living, the best medicine, and even the actual messengers of God(s). Not the terrible negative image that are portrayed now and then or simply believed.
Basically: -To understand is everything.
Would you believe that one of the very few things that may force a fully grown African bull elephant to run for dear life could be as simple as playing a tape with the sound of an enraged swarm of bees within his ear shot?
It is hard to imagine how in just a few seconds the biggest living land animal and rightly the epitome of an absolute wild force of Nature becomes like any other weakling.
The reason for that is because, unfortunately, they aren’t yet plugged in to the Net, so as to be able to read my newsletters.
Ag shame...! What a pity...!
Other articles in the November Newsletter are:
-Honey & Sinus
-Bees as "Security Guards"
-Karroo Honey
-Survival guide (mine) against unethical honey suppliers
-Bee Pollen high in anti-oxidants
-New products
Wishing you a honey of a life
