Beekeeper Safety Measures
Beekeepers take steps ensuring safety while working with bees. They wear protective clothing like veils, hats, shoes, and gloves. These items help protect skin and limit bee contact. Beekeepers understand handling bees reducing stings.
Beekeepers also use smokers when working with bees. Smoke around the hive calms bees making them less active. Calm, docile bees are less likely to sting.
