He said he'd been on patrol with colleagues. A resort owner had asked for help after the nest was found by a room at the property. They feared tourists would be stung if it was not removed. "I didn't have any equipment with me at the time so I used my bare hands to transfer the bees into a container. A colleague started filming so they could show his skills to their chief, but now the clip was going viral on the internet. Picture: Daily News Asked if he was scared or had put a special spell on the bees Narin took the mild ribbing in good spirits. "No, no special skills or spells. The trick is in not showing fear," he suggested. "They can smell fear and will then sting". He said he'd helped the public many times before using his bare hands in this way. He gathers the bees and uses them on his own property to make organic honey. He suggested that if people want to know more they should visit his farm, "Officer Narin's Coffee Plantation" or "Rai Kaafae Jaa Narin" in Thai. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-05-07 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Popular Post PJPom Posted May 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2022 As an ex beekeeper nothing unusual about gathering a swarm without protection. When bees swarm they are usually quite docile and as long as you approach calmly your chances of being attacked are minimal. Locate and capture the Queen and the rest quietly follow, into a box and later into a hive, most useful insects on the planet. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Wake Up Posted May 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2022 A swarm of bees is vulnerable and the bees need all their energy to start a new hive process. The cop is very calm and bees like calm. If they sting they die so as long as mentally and physically you move slowly and not have fear you can handle bees. Still get stung sometimes but luckily the African strain of bees has not made it way to Asia like it has in southern USA. In the south USA he would need a smoker and veil and if Africanize bees gloves. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Great job, and the man knows how important honey bees are. I wonder how many posters on the forum have this knowledge, and could do the same thing? PJPom not with standing. 555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
