Beekeepers just left, and it seems that the bees were instantly attracted to my Kenworth.  They were actually following the hood of the truck for a couple hundred feet before I stopped.



The Kenworth hood is red and white, so maybe the colour attracts them?  I had both windows open, but they didn't really seem to care about me that much.  They loved the hood though!    ac_dunno

I raise bees for honey. Great hobby and I make a few bucks from it.

Good thing these are European honeybees.  They are relatively gentle around people.



The African version is more aggressive, and will be quick to attack, especially when in large packs.



Hmmm...    :laugh:

Just put a few bee-boxes out like in the field here?

I keep them on my farm.

Cool!  If I ever get a place in the country, I'd love to have bees  for honey.
