Yesterday I discovered that my bees were in “comb-pulling mood.” I remover all of that comb and put in frames that were drawn out.

Ok…the discussion was that if a honey bee dies after it stings a human why doesn’t it die went it stings another insect? The answer is that humans (and other mammals, for that matter) have skin that has some elasticity to it. The honey bee’s stinger has a barb on the end similar to a fishing hook. When the bee stings an animal with elasticity in their skin, the barb gets hung in the skin and as the bee moves away, the insides of the bee are pulled out as they are attached to the stinger, thereby being fatal for the bee.
On the other hand, when I bee stings another insect, the barb doesn’t get stuck as the invading insect has a hard exoskeleton on the outside of its body.

Here are bees protecting their home when an invading insect rolls through.

It’s pretty cold outside, but apparently the girls aren’t too bothered by the weather. I didn’t see any activity on the left hand hive, but I did see some activity there a few days ago. I’ll keep a close watch on that hive.
