ok, so this leads to a question I've had and never seen
answered.  If bees are individuals and can be told apart:

     Do bees get to know their keepers?

Has anyone observed a colony react differently to an
inspector or knowledgeable visitor (someone who knows
their way around)?

I'm just curious if any studies have been conducted or if
anyone has made any observations.
