This is a short clip of a 4 year old boy training how to be a beekeeper and how to handle a honeybee frame… ahhh, the smell or real honeybee wax foundation. Loves working with honeybees (with a suit and gloves off course! just for now…), going to the apiary hives, processing honey, wax, maintaining beehives, building frames, painting the boxes and so on. Always helpful and fantastic little helper. Started beekeeping at the age of three. Beekeeping is one of many fun activities you can do with your kids. Teach them about the world around us. The natural world. Beats Gameboy, Playstation or the Xbox shoot’em up games for sure. Not to mention the endless hours spent in front of television where the big corporations indoctrinate their little minds with consumerism. Anyway, enough of my rant. Beekeeping is fun. Give it a go with your kids.

See a bee sting pump venom from its stinger sack furiously. This is what happens when you get stung by a bee.

In this short video, I setup a macro lens and magnifying glasses and pulled out a stinger from a dying Honey Bee from our apiary. It was almost dead, and I made sure she does not suffer off course. However, as you can see, the stinger continues to spasm and pump the bee poison for more than 5 minutes after it has been removed from the bee. The more venom / poison is released into your skin the more painful and more swollen it can get. Remove the bee sting with a nail by scraping it away. Never squeeze the venom sack to pull it out. Hope you find this video interesting.
