The cabinet in the middle of the house is where the wild bees have lived for nearly 10 years. |
In the house of Mr. Lo May Hang in Xieng Nua village (Yen Na commune, Tuong Duong district), there is a beehive nearly half a meter long and 50 cm wide. This beehive has "lived" here for nearly 10 years and has aroused the curiosity of many people in the area.

Before that, the bees had crawled through the small crack in the cupboard door to make a nest. |
According to Mr. Lo May Hang, since he built his house a short time ago, this swarm of bees has been coming in through the narrow door of the small cabinet to make a nest. At first, his family thought the bees would just stay for a while and then leave, but later they saw that the nest was getting bigger and bigger and producing a lot of honey, so he used a lock to protect it very carefully.

“Bees are like other animals. If we are gentle and do not destroy their habitat, they will not pose a danger to humans. Every time I collect honey, I only collect a small amount, even though the hive can produce 2-3 liters. This is to avoid the bees from leaving,” Hang revealed.
