Do you know how a bee keeper gets honey from honeycombs ? First, he blows smoke into the honeycomb. The bees react by filling themselves with honey because their natural instinct tells them that the smoke might be coming from a forest fire. In the event of this, the bees will move to a new home. This defence mechanism has developed over many years. This is why  bees rarely sting the person who scrapes the bees away from the honey comb. As a result, the bee keeper has made his job easier to perform.

Still, the bee keeper takes precaution by wearing a long sleeved coat so that his arms will not be exposed to the bees. He puts on a pair of gloves when he handles the hives. He also wears a hat with a veil so that the bees aren't able to sting his face. He holds the hives carefully to avoid knocking them and alarming the bees. The bees are scraped into new hives and they start collecting nectar for making honey all over again.
