Beekeeping in Lithuania

[Superlativesoul]

My wife just sent me this video of a trip to a apairy today on her cruise with the mother -inlaw .Very calm bees and amazed the beekeeper has only a smoker to protect herself ,I'm glad that they provided veils for the visitors. If she came to my apairy it would be a blitzkrieg.

My goodness, those are very calm bees ... I thought mine were well behaved but by comparison to those mine are rampant !

I have one colony pretty much like that. I suspect it may have been a swarm lost by our local ex bee inspector, or perhaps a virgin from elsewhere mated with one of her drones. Apparently she's trying to flood the area with drones from very laid back colonies.

Maybe there was something in all that smoke she used?
