Leo妈妈拿着图片给各位宝贝展示，然后来到某个宝贝面前，让宝贝帮忙找到

Can you point where is/are my head/ thorax, abdomen. Six legs, two pairs of wings and two antennae?增强互动

【3】破冰，互相介绍

What else does a bee have? Can you guess? A stinger. Now i will use my stinger to sting you,when i sting you ,you must introduce yourself to all of us，let's start.

Are you ready，you can sing with me ,唱到buzz,来选择小朋友。

假装用手指去叮宝贝

Many people are scared of us because of the stinger. In fact, bees are very nice, we do not sting people unless we are disturbed.

蜜蜂还有什么？猜一下？毒刺。

许多人因为毒刺而害怕我们。事实上，我们非常友好，除非被打扰，否则我们不会刺痛人。

【4】找蜜源

其他五位家长（GRACE妈妈，Vincy妈妈，Eric妈妈，Jeff妈妈，Jasper Jiang妈妈）在另一个区域，拿着花朵图片，蹲下来放在头上，当花

出场2只小蚂蚁Vincy和Dora。

Ant (VINCY): Hello, little bees. What are you doing?
Captain(JOSEPH)：Hello, little ants. We are pollinating the flowers and collecting the nectar. Then we can make honey. We collect pollen, using our straw-like tongue to suck the nectar and stores it in a special, just-for-honey tummy. 我们收集花粉并用吸管一样的舌头来吸花蜜，把花蜜存在我们专为储存花蜜的胃里。（蜜蜂的胃严格来说并不是两个，而是两个部分，蜜囊和前胃，花蜜存在蜜囊里，可以还吐）
Ant (VINCY): Oh, honey is so tasty and good for us. How do you make honey?哦，蜂蜜非常美味，而且对我们的身体有好处。你们如何酿蜜？
Bee (DEXTER)：We make honey using the nectar and ...our saliva.我们用授粉植物的花蜜和我们的唾液制造蜂蜜。
Ant (VINCY)：Your saliva? 你们的唾液？(gasped Ant Vincy 惊讶的说）Oh，Eri....But I like honey so much! 但是我很喜欢蜂蜜。（不失礼貌的回答，委婉的转移话题）
Ant (Dora): Why do you carry brushes and baskets?
Bee(Dexter): We have little baskets on our back legs. 我们的后腿上都有小桶。
And we have brushes of hair on our legs. 腿上还有小刷子。
Bee (Jasper Xu): See, when we land on a flower, we brush the pollen into the tiny baskets on our back legs.
Bee (Jeff): When we are heavy with nectar and pollen, we fly back to the hive.
Ant（Vincy）（露出佩服的眼神）：Wow, what a magic! Thank you and bye-bye, little bees.
Jz妈妈和Captain JOSEPH与小蜜蜂DEXTER+Jasper Xu+Jeff飞回蜂巢，边飞边做出哼哧哼哧负重前行的动作，回到蜂巢后吐出花蜜。

【4】储存和酿蜜
Bee Jeff: I am back, oh, what a busy trip. Please catch my nectar while I am passing you.
Bee Jasper Xu: Thanks. Come on, I am ready to take your duty.
许多Bees 做传接花蜜，揉肚子发酵的动作。
Bee Dexter： Honey is almost done. I am ready to vomit the honey into our cells. But it’s still watery and gooey. Let’s dry them up.

PS：　　Royal jelly蜂王浆

Worker bees in the hive make royal jelly in their head glands and feed it to the queen bee and the young larvae for the first few days after they hatch. The queen bee is the only bee in the hive that gets to eat royal jelly her whole life, and this helps her grow bigger and live longer than other bees.It contains vitamins B1, B2, B6, C, E, and various minerals such as calcium, potassium, and iron，and proteins that help the bees grow and stay healthy.

2. 游戏
2.1 蜜蜂种类和分工的游戏
About 20,000 kinds of bees live on earth. All bees are either solitray bees or social bees.
solitary animails are animals that do not live in groups, they are independent or self-supporting. Animals that live in a group are known as social animals.

扩展提问：What animail is a solitary animals? bear\tiger\snake\tortoise\snow leopard\platypus
What aniaml is a social animal? elephants\penguins\lions\chimpanzees\dolphins

A solitary bee makes a nest for its young and the nest is inside a hole in the ground,in wood. Solitary bees collect pollen. But they do not make honey or beeswax.

Social bees live with many other bees. A group of social bees is called a colony. Every honeybee in the colony has a special job. These jobs keep the colony healthy and strong.


There are three types of bees in every hive: a queen,drones and worker bees.
Queen bee蜂王: there is only one queen bee in a hive. The queen is the largest bee in the colony. A queen goes on what is called a “mating flight” where she leaves the hive and mates with anywhere from 5 to 45 different drones. She lays all of the eggs.

question time: look at each other, little bees.who is the queen bee in our colony? why? (eric妈妈 is the queen because she is a grown-up female and she's the biggest)
what can you do in the hive, queen bee?
eric 妈妈: i can lay eggs.

Drones雄蜂: There are hundres of drones in a colony. Drone bees are male bees. They cannot help defend the hive and they do not have the body parts to collect pollen or nectar, so they cannot contribute to feeding the community. The drone's only job is to mate with the queen and help the queen make eggs. Drones die after mating with a queen. After the queen lay eggs, drones become just another mouth to feed, but without contributing to the hive. Therefore, worker bees kick drones out of the hive, leading to their death.

question time: hey, little bees. who are the drones in our colony? why?
all the boys: I'm a drone. I am a boy


Worker bees工蜂: Worker bees are female，and they have many jobs. These females feed the queen/drones and care for the young. They build the hive and make honey. On long flying trips, they collect pollen and nectar. They also guard the hive against enemies.

question time: Hey, little bees. Who are the worker bees in our colony?
All the girls: I'm a worker bee
What's your job,worker bees?
feed queen\drone
take care of the young
build the hive
collect pollen and nectar
make honey
guard the hive against enemies

2.2 蜜蜂的天敌

小剧场：What are bees natural enemy?

Bee（kids):hello，we are honeybees

Queen Bee（jasper jiang 妈妈）：I’m queen bee ,I have strong stinger..there are three types of bees.queen.drone and worker bee. who is worker bee?(why are you a worker bee?)

Worker bee（all girls):I' am girl ,so i‘am worker bee(Jasper jiang 妈妈问每个小朋友，男孩说i’m not worker bee ,beacuse i'm boy，女孩儿回答给小礼物 )

good girls.we're industrious little bees（小女孩儿一起说）

Queen Bee（jasper jiang 妈妈）：who is drone bee?(Do you have stinger)

Drone(all boys):I’m drone.I haven’t stinger

Queen Bee:woo my babys ,you are so great,I think there on one can hurt us. No one can kill us.we haven’t natural enemy.

(这个时候爸爸们上场说台词,拿着相应的打印图片,说）

Wasp（Jasper Jiang爸爸):I’m wasp ,I like to eat little bees,it’s easy to me.

Wax moth(Vincy爸爸):I am wax moth.

Bear（JZ爸爸）：I’m bear.

Skunk:（Dexter爸爸)I am skunk.

Hive beetle(Joseph爸爸):I am hive beetle.

Bird（Grace爸爸):I’m bird.

Ant（Jeff爸爸）:I'm ant.

Mite（jasper 2001爸爸):I’m mite.

Queen bee(jasper jiang 妈妈）Oh，my baby bees ,they can all catch and kill bees, colony development, eat away the food reserves and cause nuisance to the bees.（出示图片）

But don‘t worry ,let's sting them away.

all kids:we are coming.(蜜蜂和天敌们跑下舞台）

Queen bee:hi kids ，do you know what are the main threats to bees?

The threats they face are many and varied—parasites, pathogens, agricultural pesticides, malnutrition, poor beekeeping practices and climate change. Any one of these threats alone could cause distress and decline to bee populations, but when combined together, the cumulative effects can be severe.

2.3 养蜂工具的游戏

What kind of equipment do beekeepers need?

A bee suit to keep clothes clean, also wear a veil over the head to protect my eyes and head from stings.

Bee suit

The clothing that beekeepers wear is called a bee suit. A full bee suit consists of long sleeves and long pants; a hat and a veil as well, to protect from the beekeeper from the bees‘ stings.

I SPY:

I spy something clean.

It used to protect my body, my eyes and head from stings

It is a suit with a veil over my head

It has long sleeves and long pants

Can you guess what is it?

Beehives

A beehive is the bee's house, there are large beehive and small beehive which are made of wood, the standard beehive is composed of 10 nest frame and there are lots of bees live on each .

I SPY:

It looks like a big toothbrush

do you know what is it?

Smoker

They use a smoker to calm the bees, when they blow smoke on bees, they think it is a forest fire. They fill their stomachs with honey in case they have to leave their tree. That is why smoke seems to calm them, because it keeps them busy.

I SPY

I SPY something can make smoke

it is a tool to collect honey

the bees became calm when it blows smoke

the bees think that there is a forest fire and they had to leave the hive

so we can use it during the harvesting

can you tell me what is it

Rocky honey machine

A wax cap seals the honeycomb.

they have to cut off the capping and then put the into a machine that spins around. This makes the honey fly out of the cells. Then they give the comb back to the bees, and bees fill it up again. After the honey comes out, keepers heat it to thin it. Then filter out the wax and put the honey in jars.

I spy

I SPY a big and round machine

It Looks like a bucket of metal

3.6 唇膏制作

制作蜂蜜唇膏the process of making honey lip salve

采用热凝固工艺Use a hot infusion method

方法一：

所需成分The ingredients we will need

1、橄榄油 half a cup of olive oil

2、蜂蜡 half an ounce of beeswax

3、蜂蜜Two teaspoons of honey

That’s all we will really need

制作方法to make the salve

1、加热橄榄油

begin by pouring the olive oil in a heat-safe glass jar

place the jar in a pot of water

boil the water on a low heat

stir gently

make sure to keep an eye on the water, you may have to refill it every now and then

finally turn off the heat and allow it to cool for a second

2、融化蜂蜡

put your beeswax in the jar and onto the pot once again to melt down the beeswax

once the beeswax is fully melted, take the jar off the heat

3、融合橄榄油、蜂蜡和蜂蜜

pour the beeswax into the oil

once the beeswax and the oil are combined, allow this mixture to cool down just a little bit

then add the honey

don’t let it go solid but allow it to come down in temperature

finally give it a good mix and pour it into a tin, allow it to cool all the way before use

That’s your very own honey lip salve！

方法二：making the lip balm

The honey in the lip balm will provide a natural sweet scent, and you can also enjoy the moisturizing benefits of the beeswax and coconut oil. Enjoy making your own honey lip balm!

一、Ingredients:

1 tablespoon beeswax pellets颗粒

1 tablespoon coconut oil

1 tablespoon honey

Small container for storing the lip balm

二、Instructions:

1）In a double boiler, melt the beeswax pellets and coconut oil together until they are fully melted.

2）Remove from heat and stir in the honey.

3）Pour the mixture into a small container for storing the lip balm.

4）Let it cool and solidify before using.

附图：

1）pot锅、jar罐子

2）stir搅拌

3）pour倒入

4）tin锡盒

为什么要用双层锅或者锅里放个玻璃罐去加热

Beeswax and coconut oil, the two main ingredients in this lip balm recipe, have a low melting point and can easily burn if heated directly in a pot. When overheated, the oils can lose their moisturizing properties and become unusable.

蜂蜡和椰子油是这款润唇膏配方中的两种主要成分，熔点低，如果直接在锅或平底锅中加热，很容易燃烧。过热时，油会失去保湿性能，变得无法使用。

小朋友们自制蜂蜜唇膏。。。

4.2 蜜蜂的身体部位The Anatomy of Bees

复杂版本：

The body of the honey bee is divided into 3 sections – the head, the thorax and the abdomen. Each section serves its own purpose and supports the functions of the attached body parts.

The head features eyes, antennae, mandibles and a very functional, yet tiny, brain

The thorax is the base for the legs and the wings

The abdomen contains the stinger,wax glands and reproductive organs

Together these form the honeybee’s exoskeleton – an “external skeleton”. This is largely covered in a layer of hair to aid the bee in gathering pollen and regulating body temperature.

Exoskeleton

An external skeleton that protects and supports an animal's body, as opposed to an endoskeleton which is an internal skeleton evident in humans and other animals.

Head

Antennae

The antennae on the head of the honey bee form a sensory power house, providing a function for a bee’s sense of touch, smell, taste and even a unique form of hearing. Curiously, males have 13 segments making up each antenna, while females have 12. In both cases, there is an elbow-like “joint” along the antenna.

For touch, the antennae feature mechanoreceptors. The sense of touch is a rather obvious benefit from the antennae but, to the surprise of scientists, it turns out they also provide the sense of hearing.

For many years it was felt that bees – despite having an almost magical set of primary senses – were unable to hear. Indeed, the traditional pressure-based ear, such as in humans, is absent. However, scientists were confused why some studies suggested bees were indeed responding to sound.

Keep in mind that what we consider sound is merely vibration at frequencies we happen to detect with our ears. There is no rule of nature dictating the “vibration detection apparatus”, that we happen to call ears, have to be attached to the side of the head! If a creature has a way to detect vibrations, through any mechanism, it can “hear”.

The machanoreceptors on the bee’s antennae respond to the movement of air particles, at frequencies associated with sound. So, through a different principle to our own ears – and because bees would look somewhat silly with ears – bees are, in fact, able to detect sound!

Bees have no ears

But they can "hear" through their antennae.

Antennae also feature odor receptors, though they are not the only part of a bee’s anatomy that can detect odors. In the antennae alone, bees pack a whopping 170 odor receptors, giving them an extremely well-evolved sense of smell.

Bees also use their antennae to communicate with other bees, through touch. Interestingly, honeybees rely primarily on the right antennae to communicate. The favoritism shown toward the right antennae is a mystery to scientists. Studies have been conducted that prove honey bees do not function as well when forced to use only their left antennae. The proclivity to use their right antennae is akin to a human being right- or left-handed.

Compound Eyes

Honey bees possess two sets of eyes – compound and simple. The large eyes you observe when looking at a honey bee are compound eyes.

Each compound eye is comprised of many eye units. These units take in a separate image and transfer the information to the brain where it is pieced together into a single image. This process also helps with the honey bee’s ability to see the world in polarized light.

Simple Eyes

The three simple eyes of the honeybee have a single lens, which collects UV light. The UV light allows the bee to see the location of pollen as a dark spot, so they know where to land.

In conjunction with their compound eyes, the bee’s UV polarized vision is the perfect tool for location of food sources.

Proboscis（昆虫等的）喙

The proboscis is another name for the tongue of a bee. It is like the human tongue, in that it is soft and can be extended. Relative to the size of the average honey bee, the proboscis is long, a result of evolution helping the bee to reach the center of a flower to collect nectar. The proboscis is also used to clean their hairs or to groom one another, especially the queen.

The length of the proboscis......averages around 6.5 mm (0.25”).

Mandibles

Mandibles are the honey bee’s incredibly strong jaws that protect the rest of the mouthparts. The mouthparts consist of a tongue and other complicated organs that collect nectar from flowers.

The mandibles of the worker bee differ from the queen and her drones. The queen and drones have pointed mandibles to aid in cutting and biting, but worker bee’s mandibles are smoothed to aid in the production of wax.

Inner Head

Of course, hidden from view is the brain. Given its size, the bee brain has an extraordinary capacity to process rich information and make decisions.

The brain is made up of a series of lobes. There are also glands inside of the head that produce secretions from the mouth, used in the creation of wax and royal jelly (a substance made by worker bees to feed larvae).

Thorax
The thorax is the midsection of the honeybee and is primarily focused on locomotion. The thorax features six legs and two pairs of wings. The muscles in the thorax allow the bee to control the movement of the wings during flight. The rapid contractions of the muscles produce the quicksilver movement of the wings.

Wings
The wings of a honey bee can carry the insect through the air at 15 miles per hour. These wings are arranged in two pairs, connected by a row of hooks on the back wing.

The fore wings are much larger than the hind wings, but they both help with flight. Lift off happens because a propeller-like twist is given to each wing during the up and down strokes.

Bee flapping wings
Speed is improved by the fast pulsating muscles located in the thorax. Bees have a range of up to 5 miles from their hive, allowing them to expand their area of pollination.

Legs
The honey bee has three pairs of legs which split into six segments, making them very flexible. The front legs are specially designed to clean the antennae, while the rear legs have a section devoted to pollen accumulation called a pollen basket.

Each leg has claws for gripping and sticky pads to assist the bee in landing on slick surfaces. Bees also have taste receptors on the tips of their legs.

The worker bee has a different set of back legs than the other bees in the hive, containing special combs and a pollen press. These are used to brush, collect, pack and carry pollen and propolis back to the hive.

Pollen Basket
The pollen basket is located the bee’s hind legs and consists of hairs surrounding a concave structure. As a bee visits a flower, she grooms herself and brushes pollen sticking to her body toward her hind legs. She then packs the pollen into the pollen basket.

To help keep the pollen together during flight, some nectar is mixed in. Finally, the hairs on the pollen basket hold it all in place.

Abdomen
Reproductive Organs
In queen bees, the abdomen features the spermatheca, which is used to store sperm collected during her mating flights and when laying, as she fertilizes eggs. The ovaries of the queen will mature and begin producing eggs between the age of 1-2 weeks and she will continue to lay eggs until her death.

For the drone, his sexual organ is a “use once” device! After the drone mates his sexual organs are ripped from him, causing his death.

Another curiosity is that his ejaculation is so explosive that it can be heard by the human ear.

Wax Glands
For worker bees, four pairs of wax-producing scales exist on the underside of the abdomen. These secrete liquefied wax, which harden into thin scales when exposed to air.

The task of creating wax within a hive is left to young worker bees. Workers can create around 8 scales in a 12-hour period. Around 1,000 such scales must be created within the colony to make a single gram of wax.

Stinger
Of all components of the anatomy of a bee, the stinger is the one that the layman considers first! The stinger is the honey bee’s only true line of defense. Honey bees will sting only as a last resort when threatened because once they have used their stinger they typically die.

The stinger differs across worker, queen and drone as follows:

• Worker: The stinger is barbed有倒钩的, and once inserted into human skin will be torn away as the bee struggles to free herself. This usually results in the death of the worker.
• Queen： A queen’s stinger has no barb and she can therefore sting repeatedly without losing it. Note, however, that stings by queen bees are quite rare.
• Drone: Nothing to worry about with drones – they have no stinger!

In conclusion, the anatomy of the bee is beautiful and incredibly efficient. The next time you see a honey bee, consider how that tiny body packs so much into such a small space.

1）Egg: The queen lays each egg in a different cell of the honeycomb.蜂王把每个卵放在蜂窝的不同蜂巢中。
2）Larva: As soon as the egg is laid, the larva is growing inside it.After three days, the egg hatches and a larva crawls out.As the larva grows, it sheds its skin. It does this five times. Eight days after hatching, the bee larva is fully grown.幼虫：一旦产下卵，幼虫就在其中生长。三天后，卵孵化，幼虫爬出。随着幼虫的生长，它脱落了皮肤。反复五次。孵化八天后，蜜蜂的幼虫完全长大。
3) Pupa: The larva cannot feed anymore and it starts to change into a pupa. 幼虫无法再喂食，开始变成蛹。
4) Adult bee: After nine days, the pupa changes color. It has turned into an adult. When it's about three to four weeks old, the bee will leave the hive.成年蜜蜂：9天后，蛹变颜色。它已经变成了成年蜂。当它大约三到四个星期大时，蜜蜂就会离开蜂巢。

4.6 蜂蜜是如何产生的

简易版：

Bees make honey in a really cool way, and it's all thanks to the flowers they visit!

1）Collecting nectar

When bees go to flowers/when we land on a flower, they use their long tongues to drink nectar，also they use their brushes to collect pollen. (Nectar is a sweet liquid that flowers make to attract bees and other insects.)Then they put it into the tiny baskets on their back legs and store the nectar in a special stomach called the honey stomach.

2）Passing nectar

Then, they fly back to the hive and spit the nectar into the mouths of other worker bees. They pass the nectar one by one. During passing，these worker bees add special enzymes to the nectar to turn it into honey.

3）Drying nectar

Honey is almost done. Then, they are ready to vomit the honey into their cells and spread the nectar around the hive. But honey’s still watery and gooey. Then they flap wings to help it dry out and turn into honey.

4）Storing nectar

Finally, the bees store the honey in honeycomb cells.

we all know that honey bees make honey but do you know it takes a great effort and hard work from bees to make the honey we enjoy 。if not， then don't you worry friends， today let us go into the buzzing world of these tiny chefs we call honey bees，and learn the recipe for nature’s sweetest dessert known as “honey” 。
1.What is the honey？
——honey a sugar which mainly constitutes of fructose and glucose made by honey bees living in a large group called a colony. These colony lives in a hive and has thousands of female worker bees who make the honey.
2.Process of producing honey
1）first， the worker bees who are also known as forager visit flowers containing sugar water， And then with the help of their hollow straw like tongue called proboscis， they suck up the nectar from the flower and store it into its tummy.
2）While returning to their beehive，digestive enzymes are already processing to turn that nectar into different parts of sugar like glucose and fructose.
3）Once the worker honeybee returns to the hive， they vomit the nectar into a processor honeybees mouth。 I know it sounds yucky，but anything for science， and desserts！
4）After breaking the nectar further， the processor honeybee vomits the partially converted nectar into another processor bee‘s mouth。This process goes on until most of the nectar turns into simple sugar， then the bee moves this watery honey mix from its tummy into its mouth，and then store it into the honeycomb， but this new nectar mix is still quite watery and goody。
5）so to get rid of most of the water， the smart bees flapped their wings which evaporate the water， leaving the thick mixture we know as honey 。
3.About honeybees work
Did you know that in its whole life a single bee only produces about one and a half teaspoons of honey？
——worker bees have to fly a whoppping 55，000 miles to produce a pound of honey， and it takes about 556 foraging bees to visit 2 million floweers， to do so。
2）Also honey is a precious gift of nature to us， as it is full of vitamins， minerals and has many medical benefits. Beyond that，honey also has many anti-microbial and healing properties linked with it.
that's why my friends we should value the efforts of honeybees and cherish every drop of honey.

知识点：

There are 2 types of bee dances: the round dance and the tail-wagging or waggle dance, with a transitional form known as the sickle dance.

In all cases the quality and quantity of the food source determines the liveliness of the dances. If the nectar source is of excellent quality, nearly all foragers will dance enthusiastically and at length each time they return from foraging. Food sources of lower quality will produce fewer, shorter, and less vigorous dances; recruiting fewer new foragers.

The Round Dance

The round dance is used for food sources 25-100 meters away from the hive or closer. After distributing some of her new-found nectar to waiting bees the scout will begin running in a small circle, switching direction every so often. After the dance ends food is again distributed at this or some other place on the comb and the dance may be repeated three or (rarely) more times.

The round dance does not give directional information. Bees elicited into foraging after a round dance fly out of the hive in all directions searching for the food source they know must be there. Odor helps recruited bees find the new flowers in two ways. Bees watching the dance detect fragrance of the flower left on the dancing bee. Additionally, the scout bee leaves odor from its scent gland on the flower that helps guide the recruits.

The Waggle Dance

As the food source becomes more distant the round dance is replaced by the waggle dance. There is a gradual transition between the round and waggle dance, taking place through either a figure eight or sickle shaped pattern.

The waggle dance includes information about the direction and energy required to fly to the goal. Energy expenditure (or distance) is indicated by the length of time it takes to make one circuit. For example a bee may dance 8-9 circuits in 15 seconds for a food source 200 meters away, 4-5 for a food source 1000 meters away, and 3 circuits in 15 seconds for a food source 2000 meters away.

Direction of the food source is indicated by the direction the dancer faces during the straight portion of the dance when the bee is waggling. If she waggles while facing straight upward, than the food source may be found in the direction of the sun.

Similarly, if the dancer waggles 120 degrees to the right of upward, the food source may be found 210 degrees to the right of the sun. The dancer emits sounds during the waggle run that help the recruits determine direction in the darkness of the hive.

If she waggles at an angle 60 degrees to the left of upward the food source may be found 60 degrees to the left of the sun.

4.8 蜜蜂的天敌What animal kills bees?

In North America, the black bear eats bees and wasps. In addition to intentionally eating these stinging insects, black bears also enjoy eating the honey found in beehives. Early wasp colonies can also fall victim to stoats, weasels and mice.

4.9 怎么防止被蜜蜂蛰 How to Stop a Bee from Stinging You

Bee stings can be painful and annoying. No one wants to get stung by a bee, but being outdoors means that you might run into one. However, by taking precautions before you go out, wearing proper clothing, and knowing how to avoid bees, you can reduce the chance that a bee will ruin your day.

Part1 Preparing to Go Outdoors

1 Avoid strong scents.

Bees are attracted to or react to odors. Avoid wearing perfumes, colognes, or other heavy scents, or using scented soaps, shampoos, and basically anything that makes you smell nice if you're going anywhere near a hive or wasps nest.

2 Tie your hair back.

Bees may become trapped in loose or long hair. If you tie your hair back, however, a bee can easily fly away if it lands on your head by mistake.

3 Avoid bright, patterned, and black clothing.

Brightly colored or patterned clothing (especially floral prints) may attract bees. On the other hand, they may also be attracted to very dark clothing, so avoid wearing black. Instead, choose khaki, beige, or blue colors.

4 Wear tight, protective clothing, especially if you know bees will be around.

Long pants and a long-sleeved shirt can protect you from getting stung if bees are nearby or known to live in an area you will visit. If bees are present, they can get caught between loose clothing and your skin. Snug-fitting clothing will keep bees out and prevent stings.

If you have to work around bees, wear a beekeeper’s hat or a mesh covering over your head, and tuck your pants into your shoes or socks. You can also wrap tape snugly around the angles of your pants and the ends of your sleeves to keep bees from flying up your clothing.

5 Wear close-toed shoes.

Good footwear will protect your feet when you are outdoors. Bees will hover in and around low ground cover like clover, so it is especially important to wear close-toed shoes if you will be near such an area.

6 Know the risks of pesticides.

Applying insect repellents or bug sprays to your skin or clothing will not keep bees away.[11] If you want to use a pesticide or repellant anyway, remember that they can be hazardous to your health and to the environment.Always follow usage directions exactly.

Part 2 Avoiding Bees
1 Be observant when drinking sweet beverages outside.

Sugary drinks are similar to nectar and may attract bees. You will want to choose the right drinking vessel. Bees can enter small-mouth cans and bottles without you realizing it, increasing your chances of getting stung. Using a wide-mouth cup makes it easier to see if a bee has landed in your drink. A lid and/or straw can also help keep bees out of your drink.

2 Keep food and trash covered.

Bees might be attracted to the scent of food and trash, so keep these covered if you are outdoors.
Keep trash in containers with tight-fitting lids.
Use dishes with lids to cover your food if you are eating outdoors.

3 Stay away from beehives.

Your chances of getting stung are higher if you are near a hive, since bees will be protective of it. If you see a hive, leave the area. Don’t touch or poke it.[20] If you see lots of bees flying to and/or from the same place, or hear lots of buzzing, chances are there is a hive nearby, and you should move to another area.
If you see a hive in, on, or near your home, contact a professional pest control service to have it safely removed.

4 Keep car windows rolled up.

Bees may fly into your car if the windows are down. If a bee is already inside your car, stop, roll down the windows, and wait for it to fly out.

Part 3 Dealing with Bees
1 Don’t swat at bees.

Slapping, waving, and swatting at bees with your hand or an object may irritate them and increase the possibility that you will be stung.

EXPERT TIP
David WilliamsDAVID WILLIAMS
Beekeeper & Bee Removal Specialist
Our Expert Agrees: If you see a bee, don't swat at it. Simply move out of the way and walk away from it. Sometimes they can be aggressive, but just continue walking to put distance between you and the insect.

2 Stay calm if a bee lands on you.

If a bee lands on you, it is probably just investigating an odor (or getting water if you are sweating). Remain calm, wait a moment, and soon it will realize that you are not a flower and fly on. If you do not want to wait, then gently brush the bee off of you with a piece of paper, or blow gently at it to encourage it to move on.

3 Leave the area immediately if you see lots of bees.

Bees sometimes swarm. If you see many bees together, or if a swarm flies near you, cover your mouth with your hand or a cloth and quickly but calmly get away.
Swatting at bees is a bad idea, because may aggravate them and increase your chances of being stung. However, you should also not “freeze” in place if you see bees, since that would make them fly to you.
Don’t try to get away from bees by hiding in a pool, pond, lake, etc. They may just wait for you to resurface.
Image titled Stop a Bee from Stinging You Step 14

4 Leave the area immediately if you are stung.

When a bee stings you, it releases a chemical that may attract other bees. Get away and seek shelter indoors or in a car.

5 Care for the wound if you are stung.

Most people will have only a mild reaction to a bee sting, with some swelling and minor pain. Putting ice on a sting can reduce swelling and irritation.
Honey bees (unlike bumblebees, wasps and hornets) will leave their stinger in your skin after they sting you. To remove it, gently scrape your fingernail across it. Don’t try to squeeze or pinch it out, as this can just drive the stinger deeper into your skin.

6 Seek medical attention if the attack was severe.

If you are stung many, many times, or if you are stung and know that you are allergic to bee stings, you should seek medical assistance as soon as possible to make sure that you are alright. If you see any of the following symptoms, you may be having a severe (potentially life-threatening) allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) to bee stings and someone should help you get medical assistance immediately:

• Hives, itching, pale or flushed skin
• Difficulty breathing
• Swelling of your throat and/or tongue
• A weak or rapid pulse
• Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
• Dizziness or fainting
• Loss of consciousness
