Now it has come true after all and a great wish of the garden beekeeper for 2018 has come true:

Today, the opportunity arose to rescue a small swarm of bees that had settled on an apple tree in the garden with the bare hands. The bees were as meek as lambs.

What a great, deeply moving event!

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

And it's really true: the body of the bees feels warm and softer than the most groomed cat fur.

The vibration of the many little legs and wings tingles in the hand like hundreds of very light electric shocks.
