  • A special phenomenon is that of bees, a natural process that guarantees the survival of bees. The temperate climate causes exuberant blooms and the prosperity of the blooms causes the "emancipation" of the bees.

Bees start to fill with honey, and as the hives fill up, they run out of space to live, so they have time to make decisions.

They will have two options. Don't collect honey and starve in winter or send some bees out of the hive. The beehive also has the advantage that the bee multiplies, ensuring that the bees remain in the future.

This emancipation of bees is called beekeepers.

In this process they create a new queen in the bee and send the old queen from the hive in search of a new place. Thanks to this, the new queen will continue in the hive for laying eggs.

The old queen starts looking for a place. Where to stay looking at what to occupy. It is common to introduce beekeeping in the old roofs, in some of the old abandoned hives or in the blinds of the houses…

Beekeepers consider it normal, especially when flowering is very abundant. On the part of these beekeepers it is not very nice for the bee to leave, as it can beget in the production of honey, but should we try to stay in a natural process? Avoid that?

Are we who care for bees and claim the importance of the bee and also those who want to change the natural process of the bee?
