Watch how bees are tamed inside a utility pole.

TPO - Along the rural roads in Tran Van Thoi Commune, Ca Mau Province, there are electric poles that serve as natural bee nests. From these locations, the locals have also developed the profession of domesticating bees, bringing entire colonies to raise.

In Hamlet 5, Tran Van Thoi Commune ( Ca Mau ), the sight of Mr. Tran Phuong Vu carefully approaching each utility pole where bees have nested has become familiar. Once he locates the nest, the worker uses light smoke to drive the bees away, skillfully searching for and capturing the queen bee, the "soul" of the colony.

Without fancy protective gear, just a conical hat and experience gained from numerous trials, Vu began a job that not everyone would dare to do.

Holding his hat in one hand and gently bringing the other hand close to the hive opening, Vu skillfully "lured" the bees out.

Don't rush, don't be rough, because just one wrong move can make the entire swarm of bees aggressive and attack back.

Anh Vu shared: "The most important thing in beekeeping is to keep the queen bee so that the colony will follow you home to raise them. Keeping the colony allows you to expand and create new colonies. Honey sells for over 1 million VND per liter, providing extra income during the off-season."

As the bees began to leave their hive inside the utility pole, they quickly clustered together, clinging tightly to the conical hat containing the queen bee.

From the utility pole, the bee colony is brought back to the garden and transferred into prepared hives. In the first few days, the beekeeper must closely monitor the bees and maintain a quiet environment so they can settle in and get used to their new home.

However, "playing with bees" still carries many risks. Besides the risk of being stung, tampering with utility poles also needs to be done cautiously to avoid affecting the electrical system and the safety of the surrounding area.
