Beekeeping & UAP’s

I have two great interests: UAPs and Beekeeping. Last week, I thought about the parallels between beekeeping and UAPs.

Keeping bees is fascinating. You’ve got this whole society happening inside a hive. Worker bees live about four weeks, cycling through jobs from cleaning to foraging. Then there’s the queen bee, who can live a few years and is basically the heart of the hive. Without a good queen, you’re in trouble, and managing the hive becomes a lot harder. It’s like watching the rise (or downfall) of a civilization.

When I work with my hives, it’s kind of like I’m an alien to these bees. I come in with my smoker, which I use to calm them down. They think it’s a fire, so they start eating honey to prepare for escaping a disaster. This lets me check on them without causing too much stress. It’s weird to think about, but to them, I’m this big, mysterious creature messing with their home. Most of the time, my visits are so brief and careful that they don’t even notice me. Considering their short lifespans, any single bee might only experience my presence once, twice or maybe never.

I try to keep everything balanced and check the hive every week or two. I’m looking to make sure the queen is healthy and the bees are doing what they should be, like not overcrowding the hive or running out of food. It’s all about keeping them healthy and productive without them really noticing much.

Despite my efforts to remain unnoticed, sometimes bees do see me as a threat. On occasion, a bee will sting me, which hurts. But even when that happens, I can’t help but love and care for them. They don’t know that I’m there to help, that my actions, even when they include pulling frames, harvesting honey, or closing up the hive, are for their benefit.

Thinking about it, there’s a weird parallel between beekeeping and UAPs. Just like I’m this ‘alien’ to my bees, maybe there’s something out there that views us similarly. They might be doing things that seem disruptive or scary to us, but maybe it’s for a reason we don’t get yet.

After I’m done with the bees for the day, I often just like to stand there a bit and watch them get back to normal. It reminds me that whether it’s dealing with bees or looking up at the sky, there’s a lot going on that we don’t fully understand, and maybe we’re all part of something bigger, just doing our part without even realizing it.

How do you view the phenomena?
