Bee-ing Careful

Dwight and I have started keeping bees. More like, Dwight has started bees in a hive and I have watched and kept notes. He removed a hive for his aunt that did not want them in her yard and they are doing well. He literally picked up the queen and her followers and put them in a box and made it home and set everyone up in their new hive with no incidents. He even saved me some comb so that I could render the bees wax (I'm thinking candles). He moved thousands of bees without being stung. I worked on one comb and got stung. I see a problem here.
