An observation.. many beekeeperers have beards ... strange!
"An observation.. many beekeeperers have beards ... strange!"
why strange? we're talking about a group of individuals for whom female attention (desired/undesired) is not dependent upon physical appearances.
However bees seem to be far more logical, understandable and even tempered than most of the women I have dated
Sweat - mine are particularly anti foot odour - they literally go for my ankles, but boots sorts out that problem.
I discovered that the ladies are NOT favourably disposed towards onion breath after a lovely sandwich last year.

Change the queens. You need not stand such houligans.
Hi Finman. I have had a question on my mind a while about this. Could you raise a new queen from the colony or would you have to buy a new one in?
I am far from an expert but I would have thought raising a Queen from the colony would just give the same angry bees. A new queen will introduce new genes which should (if the queen has been chosen correctly) be of a more docile nature.
Probably but not certain by any means.
From memory the behaviour traits are from the drones but someone far more knowledgeable will be along to confirm or deny.
Mendelian genetics is above my pay grade.
