A beekeeper describes the shift from getting stung constantly to keeping gentle bees calm enough to watch closely. The real pleasure isn't the bees themselves but finally being able to stand at the hive entrance without dread.

Watching entrances is one of my favorite things when it comes to beekeeping. Being able to get this close to your bees and not really worry about them stinging you is so nice. And you know, it wasn't always this way for me, and some people might see this as a massive promotional plug. It's not. I didn't enjoy my beekeeping when they stung me a lot, and now that I've got nice calm bees, I can sit there and watch the entrance as long as I like.
