Description
So apparently it’s a “strange” request to have bees shaken off onto your hands… xD I think I find it stranger that I absolutely loved it. I swear, mention bees, and I could melt.
I am hobby beekeeping, learning everything about it at a local apiary with an amazing trainer.
And with this image… honestly, I am not grinning enough, for I am surrounded by Holmes and bees and I love both so much - this is heaven. <3

THIS IS ADORABLE. ADORABLE.
I've often wanted to keep bees, but never have... My boyfriend's father keeps bees, and I'm wondering if we might in the future...hum.
...This is adorable.

Hhahahaha, thanks! YES, go and keep beeeeees! It's sooo cool. Bees are amazing creatures and it's pretty awesome to have them by the hundreds on your hands. xD

Funny enough, as my fellow and I are sitting and watching television (resting between writing a paper, haha) he said that we shall certainly have bees when we get a home. YES. That little statement made me quite happy. XD
I can hardly wait!

So much squee in this picture. I adore bees so much. Lovely little balls of cuteness. We played host to a bumblebee nest in our wall recently which was amazing to watch.

Oh wow! I've never even seen a bumblebee nest! I just love it when one looses its way and stumbles near the bee hives... It's so adorable because compared to the bees they're so big and fluffy and clumsy. xD

I saw some doing a waggle dance in front of my house where the guttering is and a few days later they were piling into a tiny crack. The hive was only small with around 10 individuals from what I saw, but the species of bumblebee was apparently a more rare variety. So I was extra excited. Unfortunately the hive has died down now. They don't last long.

Eeee, this is adorable! I love it.
And seriously, who wouldn't love bee cuddles? Not strange at all.

This is such an amazingly cute illustration and the background story is also very cute and nice of you to include! I really really like this and I personally like bees too. Not too the point where I would want them on me though xd I just think they look lovely from a distance

Thank you! Your comment is really nice, too. :3
I was nervous in the beginning, too, and even with beesuit and gloves I got startled when I noticed a bee somewhere unexpectedly.... but now, I don't mind at all. Someday I'll do this without gloves, especially knowing that the bees on my hands are drones and such young baby bees who both can't sting (yet).
