„The Bees can sting if they are treated improperly ,
but if
You do it well …
they’ll give You a piece of heaven“
The most important thing when keeping bees is having basic knowledge about them. Without this, you and your entire neighborhood could be at risk. We strongly recommend reading our breeding section.
Even in apartment buildings, bees can be safe for the environment if you breed them exactly according to the rules of beekeeping. The WindowBee® metal corpus separators allow you to manipulate inside the hive without bees escaping into the apartment. The WindowBee® hive is not a toy and should be used by responsible individuals, not by children. Bees should be kept not on a whim but by those who have read about them and want to learn more by breeding in the observation bee hive.
So, if you truly want to understand bees, this hobby is for you. If it’s just a whim, let it go!
Single or multiple stings are not dangerous for most people, but they are for those who are allergic. If you have a bee venom allergy or someone in your family does, you should reconsider keeping bees. While stings are rare with the WindowBee hive, they can happen if you are not focused enough when handling the hive. To protect yourself, especially your eyes, you should wear a beekeeper’s hat during handling. If the hive falls down, most bees will not be able to fly and attack, but some may. This is why proper equipment is essential. Instructions on how to work with a broken hive can also be found in the breeding section.
Bees attack for several reasons:
– They are under attack or think they are, especially if worker bees are crushed.
– You open the hive and shake them too vigorously.
– The weather is unfavorable for bees, and they defend the hive before opening by stinging.
– Honey bees typically attack within a very close area to the beehive entrance (around 2-3 meters).
– A strong smell of perfume or sweat near the beehive entrance induces guard bees to attack.
If you use the WindowBee® hive properly, the bees will not escape and will not sting you or your neighbors.
