The Queen passed away at Balmoral on Thursday, September 8 at the age of 96. The news was announced to the world at 6.30pm. But it is not just humans who had to be informed of the sad news.
A bizarre ancient tradition saw the royal beekeeper tell the palace bees that the Queen had died. John Chapple made the poignant journey to the hive on Friday where he carried out the ancient ritual.

I love tradition, so I’m good with it. Actually, I believe beekeepers do talk to their bees and the bees remain calm when they recognize who is near.
Yes, bees do recognize who tends to them. My son, had 3 hives, 5 boxes, stacked for each hive. Anyway, wore protective gear, when needing to tend to the hives, the bees went about there usual activity. When his wife, someone they didn't know, they reacted differently.
Wow. Maybe I spoke too soon. Who knew bees could be so discerning?
