#DidYouKnow Many Beekeepers report smelling Bananas after being stung? This is because of the chemical known as isoamyl acetate (aka isopentyl acetate aka banana oil). Isoamyl acetate is also the alarm pheromone released by bees when they sting. We call this the Banana Factor, and advise our beekeepers to seek their potassium elsewhere during beekeeping season. #bananas #potassium #bees #BeeResponsible #BeeTheChange #BeeAware Image by Katie Gamb Top Bar Hive, Bar Top, Banana Oil, Hives, Bee Keeping, Bee Hive, Bananas
