Round 2 of rescuing bees from this cupola, after the first rescue it was not fully sealed and a new swarm moved in. The residual smell of comb is highly attractive to bees. These bees are so incredible, look at how much comb they built out in less than four months! 🍯 Except these bee possibly have a percentage of Africanized genetics (A. m. scutellata) because they are very defensive. I say defensive because bees are not aggressive, they just get a bad rap for you know...killing themselves protecting their home. 🤺 I took out and almost filled 5 frames, but there's probably another 3 to 5 still up there. I started taking a fair amount of stings so decided to stop and let them chill out...to bee continued 🏳🏳🏳🐝🐝🐝 _ #livebeeresuce #savethebees #africanizedbees #Apismelliferascutellata #bees #honeybees #apis #beekeeping #beekeepers #beekeepingtherapy #apiculture #certifiedbeekeepers #beehivesmatter #beestings #beestingtherapy #southfloridabeekeepingassociation #fiubeekeeping #almostround2 #skateordie #beesordie #inbeeswetrust (at Miami Beach Botanical Garden) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4DET4iA85L/?igshid=nq7wut3em7el

I dreamt last night I found a heap of roots humming

a sound I felt writhing in my bones

I washed the dirt away to find their parts woven

spectres of foliage loom

held the bound roots in a fist and through the warmth pulse

oozed

juice

slow

like honey

from the colonies

Africanized bees came swarming around me

dancing their vision

and I forgot the aeons of hypnotic starlings mirroring their movement

They have all the colours in their fibre of being

The less africanized

the gentler the native the less fly the fresher

juices of papaya and mango

in a basket

in a boat

They have all the colours in their fibre of being

Their radiant rage echoes the thirst of their ancestors on the other side of seas

And through the woven layers of the colonized tongues, scents and honey

A Wayuu Womxn draws you in

and sings of earth, sea, seeds

and sees her vision humming
