[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 830232, member: 14661"] Alot of the sting is controlled by what queens the beekeeper is buying. I used to run cordovan Italians and a few Carniolan queens... Gentle. Hauling bees was never a problem. I don't think I was ever stung more than once per hive even when I dug into the hives bare handed. My wife and kids would go with me and just stand back a few feet and they never got stung. Then I switched to the queens from south Texas for better disease and pest tolerance and HOLY **** what a diferance! Even the ones out pollinating away from the hive are quick to sting. When hauling those bees, every bee in the air was looking for blood and wasn't to particular about where it came from. :nod: I've sold most of the bees but I still have an old Mcnabb (black and white-looks like a skunk which is biggest enemy of a beehive) that runs and hides every time he sees me in a beesuit. He remembers those devil girls quite well. :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
