We find honey bees to be amazing, wonderful creatures. My dad, since I was born, used to keep about 25 hives, my grandpa little more. In my area there were many acacia forests around, which make one of the best honey in the world. This was a staple memory for me, trying the sweet amber liquid. Acacia honey does not crystallize, it is light in color and has the best flavor.
I am the 4th generation, as far as I know, to keep bees. The first time I got stung, happened when I was almost a year old, and I got 7 stings (my mom tells me) at once playing with bees at a hive entrance.
Honey bees are gentle in nature and usually won't harm anyone until they perceive a danger for their hive.
