A remarkable image that left many viewers concerned. Why do bees attack? “Bees can always be triggered by things that we cannot always observe,” says insect expert Peter Berx in ‘The Quarter’. “That is often odor. Bees can therefore be attracted by the smell of, for example, soap, sweat or washing product.”
There is also research that shows that the colors of our clothes can also play a role. “Dark clothes in particular, but also motifs of colorful flowers, attract bees. That is why beekeepers often wear a white suit. Bees have little interest in that.”
