How BEES DECIDE WHOM TO STING just By SMELLING

r TOW does it happen that some persons
can take all sorts OF liberties with bees
aN - without being stung, while others never
approach hive without being attacked in the
most violent fashion? The immunity which
certain men and women enjoy from stings
cannot be due TO their better knowledge OF
the bees habits, for some of the greatest
authorities on these useful little insects are
just the ones who have to guard most care
fully against being stung.

sting you every time YOU approach.
