I "may" re-queen my 2 hives due to their aggressiveness, I am trying to find out what breed of honeybee is the most gentle. I've read that Buckfast & Cordovan breeds are very gentle.
Thanks in advance.

I know it's good that they are strong, so they can battle all the enemies they have, but I was shocked when they got so cranky with me. They stung me about 7 times right through my suit. |
