Yeah the Russians are a little meaner, but do better with the mites and winter. The Italians are much easier to work, but require a lot more “hand holding”. Either way I normally knock with some smoke at the entrance/through the screened bottom for 2-3 puffs, then when I crack the top or move off a super, add a puff at the location. If I’m working slow and see them start staring me down, they get a little more.
I work bare handed because gloves loose too much dexterity, but that also gives them a giant target.

Here’s another for the road: mites are a big problem for bees. They latch on to the bees and the bees don’t feel them. One way bee keepers can encourage bees to clean themselves and knock off the mites is by covering the bees in powdered sugar! This makes it look like there are a bunch of powder white bees flying around for a while.

Yup, if it’s cold they stay inside the hive and ball up! They vibrate against each other to make heat and stay warm.

My main goal is to not get stung! Also you only go into the hives every few weeks so it’s not a major disruption.

Bees navigate using the sun. It doesn’t really seem that they make a map, but more seem to know where they are by the process of directions that got them there. If you stand in front of the entrance to a bee hive for a few minutes then turn around to face away from the hive, you will see a swarm of bees flying in a holding pattern waiting for you to move. Once you move the entrance to the hive gets really busy. They don’t seem to know to go around you, they just wait till the path is clear!

Fun additional bee fact! Bee hives have personalities and each hive has a different one! Some hives are very easy going and have no problems being worked. Other hives don’t like to be touched and will get defensive quickly. When working hives, one of the things you look for is bees lining up on the edge of a frame staring you down. If you see that, hit them with some more smoke else you are about to be stung!

Yup. It simulates a forest fire and encourages them to gorge themselves on honey and leave the hive. They get less protective of the hive (because they think it is doomed) which makes it easier to work. They will check back in under an hour to see if the hive made it, and if so, will regurgitate the honey back and continue on with their day.

- Comment on Sugar vs baking soda to neutralize acid in canned tomatoes? 6 months ago:
Sugar is neutral in PH, but can be used to help balance out overly acidic food. I would be worried that in this case it would just bolster the flavor of the lemon if it is strong enough that you can detect it in the sauce.
You could try cutting it with some fat (milk, cream or butter), and I would try adding more onion and/or garlic.
You should probably consider buying a different base tomato sauce in the future.
