Perhaps you need to start selecting for better tempered bees? This week we
have been working with the bees every day - all day! - have removed 1/2 ton
of honey, returned wet supers and spent many hours setting up mating nucs
etc. The weather has been very mixed. I have had just one sting.
Best wishes
