Very cool photos but dang, doing that bare-handed gives me the willies. Is the ability to do that something that comes with experience or could an inexperienced person wade right in and do the same?
Swarms are
usually very docile. The bees normally aren't very defensive before they have a hive located and comb drawn. I do occasionally run into a swarm that will drill me a time or two, but most of the time they are easy to work with.
