> If you are referring that we have docile bees, handling bees without veil, bee suit, nor gloves. Then we don't qualify as manageable,  because you will get stung many, many, many times. There is an extremely high population of wild bees in the environment and very defensive.

Well, I didn't mean no veil, no gloves -- necessarily. Plenty of beekeepers always work this way. But, I believe you of course. If they sting many, many, many times, then I don't, don't, don't want them  ; )
