To see someone treating bees so tenderly and respectfully fascinates the garden beekeeper and moves him deeply. The body of the bee feels warm and softer than the most groomed cat fur.

A young swarm of bees is very gentle and not defensive on the day of its "birth", so that the bees can be touched with the bare hand in this way.

The garden beekeeper looks forward to the opportunity to experience this for himself. Now is swarm time, so the chances should not be too bad... :-)
