Feeding bees at Night. Caution

[northernsoul]

Up until last night I've never had any problems feeding bees at night, so have never worn a veil.

Standing in a field in the pitch black pouring syrup into the feeder I was stung three times in the face.

I'll be wearing my veil from now on.

Beware!

Thats why the bees attacked, they saw the torch and thought he was coming to rob them

Bees have a strange habit to protect their hive. Then they have a sting. What for?

Yes forgot to mention, I was wearing a hornet costume!

Aha, well, that makes sense now.....

I was wearing a hornet costume!

That would be the reason. It's obvious.

Torch and striped costume, definitely a robber, no wonder they attacked
