      My grandpa was a beekeper and a teacher. When i was a little kid, although my grandpa died, we still had 5 bee hives in our garden, so i was really lucky to accompany my dad and grandma when they tended the bees. It was amazing to watch them (bees) and learn. To this day i find them amazing and i'm always happy to see more information especially this quality.
      And finding exactly the same thing my dad tought me - bees are usually peaceful. They don't like to give their lives in vain. So if you don't bother them, they will not bother you. Oh, a small exeption... when they are about to swarm, they are not so merciful. Once i had that unpleasant meeting with them, when i wanted to show my cousin how they bring pollen to the hive... And we went back home running and screaming, each with a few of their stingers in our backs 🤭
      There is however one information of a bee stinger that i was tought and i didn't see it in this movie. Those barbs react to temperature. They "open up" when they enter a warm blooded creature (especially those with a taste for that sweet honey). So that stinger is much more likely to be left under a skin of someone like human or a bear.

      Honey bees can free themselves in about 30 seconds to one minute if ppl don’t swat at them and don’t make them want to leave - if one moves or swats at them, they will fly off and the stinger will be stuck, and they will páss because of it, so if one gets stung, one should just wait and not move until the bee frees herself without losing the stinger!

    This video randomly reminded me of a nature program I watched a few years ago. A Bee colony was under attack by giant wasps, and it wasn't going well for the bees, until the wasps started entering the hive. At that point the bees covered the invading wasps and then literally cooked them to death, by generating a massive amount of heat through vibration. EDIT Not Wasps, Giant Hornets

      Doesn't your protective equipment stop stings? Also, when a bee stings your ppe, do their stingers get stuck in the fabric? I know that traditional bee keeping kills SOME bees every time you pull out racks, but how many typically die?

    Great video! When i was a young boy and bees were plentiful, I would study everything about them from behavior to anatomy. The stinger was always a subject of great interest. I would extract a stinger and observe it functioning under a magnifying glass and realized it had its own short life outside of the bee. One time I just barly made contact with a living stinger and noticed it crawling to full depth into my finger. This video confirmed the nature of my suspicions and taught me a few more thing i didnt know.

      For me, evolution is a beautiful and amazing way of looking at the world. It helps me understand the diversity of life and how it has changed and adapted over time. The scientific theories and evidence behind evolution are fascinating and have expanded my knowledge of the world around me.
      Furthermore, the evidence for evolution is simply overwhelming. From the fossil record to genetic studies, the evidence supports the idea that organisms change and adapt over time. This isn't just a theory, but rather a scientific consensus that has been supported by a vast amount of evidence.

    I always loved bees and they are one of few insect (or insect-like) species along with European ladybugs and small spiders which I allow even to crawl on my hand.
    Just don't make sudden moves, don't swat them, don't poke their hive with anything and you should be totally fine for them unless there is a history. Funny that even with their short lifespan, subsequent generations seem to remember past transgressions somehow.

    1:18 When that happened to me, I felt the pain inly at the moment of the sting. It didn't feel like the venom kept being injected.

    In my youth my father described to us children the action of a honey bee sting and the sting tearing out of the body of the bee causing its death. In my mind I imagined this with such clarity and compassion for the bee that I fainted, my mind went foggy and sickly and I lost consciousness. Waking up on the floor several minutes later. This happened again many times over the years, whenever I could not face something medical. Ultimately I undertook a nursing degree, in part to face this recurring issue, and solved it for myself.
    But I've never actually seen the honey bee process till now.
    Its even more impressive that my imagination 😮.
    Thank you.
    Oh yes. Nursing chewed me up and spat me out so this is seriously NOT about how 'wonderful' nursing is.
    But thats another story.

    This video makes me think that certain inventions are unavoidable…like nature made a amazing blue print for a pump system inside a bee stinger….. wow!

    I was attacked unprovoked by a bee this year, as i was normaly walking. First time it stinged me in the little finger, but i removed the sting immediatly and almost didn't felt pain. Second time, 6 month later, i managed to hit it when it was attacking me and killed it.

    Awesome.
    I knew all this but never seen it presented this way. Of course it is only natural from this channel.
