we have built a very smokey fire on the end of a tree branch and have succeeded in convincing the bees we are good guys, they have allowed us to get enough 'manuka' honey for food and dressing purposes, and didn't sting us at all.
We have a sweet tooth and prefer honey to garlic, besides we have to talk to each other, no toothbrush is bad enough, add garlic and we would kill each other without the challenges. Must find a bath soon and the clothes could do with changing.
