precaution to be taken when working with bees
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Ottmers suggests the following precautions when working outdoors:
We would want to have a t-shirt and a long sleeve shirt on, a pair of blue jeans, boots, a bandana around our neck, a hat— these are the same things that serve us for sun protection. The other thing is that we would want to have a fire extinguisher and/or a soapy water bug sprayer. Like Dawn dish detergent water in the bug sprayer. And that’s helpful for both wildfires and for bees.
Africanized bees do tend to be closer to the ground or in the ground. They can be found in water meters and abandoned bee hives. The vibrations of a tractor can set off these bees, so Ottmers recommends checking an area before heavy equipment is to be used. If you do find a hive, there are steps to be taken.
Once you know that there’s a hive in the area, you want to alert other people that that hive is there so that nobody accidentally comes upon it or creates some kind of disturbance to create that defensive reaction from the bees. If you try to use pesticide or insecticide on a hive of bees, it will just aggravate them. It doesn’t get rid of them.
In West Texas, many animal control departments have lists of beekeepers that can help with hive removal.
