For honour, for the hive, for things ordinary humans can not understand.

The real sad thing is after stabbing their opponent the winning beekeeper dies anyway.

I'd you had a queen, you would understand

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

Each queen sends her champion in the arena.

You must know the sting of the blade to prepare thyself for the sting of the bee.

To show favour to the queen bee and to improve moral of the other bees that they are well protected and can relax to make more honey.

Because there are 10000 ways to successfully raise healthy bees. Arrrgh. source: hobbyist beekeeper

See that's where you're wrong, there's only one way of raising healthy bees. Every body else has it wrong.

Source: I've discussed my own hobby online as well.

Honey addiction is real and tearing our communities apart.

That's the one thing Beekeepers don't do; stand down. Not unlike bees themselves, Beekeepers keep working until they die

This is how they resolve issues when they are on the fence about something. That's why it's called fencing.

That's just active equipment testing. Sure, a suit may claim to protect you, but you don't actually know it will protect you until it's been thoroughly stabbed a few times.

You know it's a shitty world when even the beekeepers are fighting each other.

I discuss this and other important topics in my new book "The Naked Apiarist: Elementary Mistakes in Beekeeping".
