How do bees not sting you?

I know the answer. When we open our hive, we don't need a hat, a veil or any suit. We look and don't steal a lot of honey. We use a smoker but don't smoke it that much. But most important, we are nice to the bees when we open the hive.

Always be sure to rub lemon balm on your skin--they love that smell. When you make the hives, you rub lemon balm on the inside before you put bees in them.

If they fly over to you and land on you when you are playing, just sit still and wait until they fly off. Once in kindergarten, my friend, Rowan had a bee on her and she went crazy. Ms. A got it off and stepped on the bee. I was horrified!
