My father has bees. Today I was at his house and he showed me all the honey he got from the beehives. He took the lid off a 5 gallon bucket full of honey and on top of the honey were three little bees struggling. They were covered in sticky honey and drowned. I asked him if we could help them and he said he was sure they wouldn't survive. Presumably they are victims of honey collection.
I asked him again if we couldn't at least get them out and kill them quickly, after all he was the one who taught me how to put a suffering animal (or bug) out of its misery. Finally he gave in and scooped the bees out of the bucket. He put them in an empty Chobani yogurt pot and put the plastic container outside.
Since he had disturbed the hive during the earlier honey extraction, the bees were flying all over the outside.
We put the 3 little bees in the container on a bench and left them to their fate. My father called me a short time later to show me what had happened. These three little bees were surrounded by all their sisters (all bees are female) and they were cleaning the sticky, almost dead bees and helping them remove the honey from their bodies. When we came back a short time later, there was only one small bee left in the container. She was still being cared for by her sisters.
When it was time for me to go we checked one last time and all three bees were cleaned enough to fly away and the bin was empty.
These three little bees lived because they were surrounded by family and friends who didn't want to give them up, family and friends who refused to let them drown in their own stickiness and who decided to help them until the last little one bee could be freed.
Bee Sisters. fellow bees. fellow bees.
We could all learn a thing or two from these bees.
Bee kind always.
