Chances are great that your he-bee was a she-bee. They are mostly she. Which is why I love beekeeping.. It's matriarchal, creative, busy, needs no interference, an age-old homestead/husbandry sort of thing. You fed her. She appraised you. She did, in fact. She came around to look at you. My bees did that. They tap against you as a warning. Then they move in to sting if you are crossing a boundary (taking honey, etc.) I miss my bees. New house in city limits, though it's a small town, means no bees. When I make a friend with property, I'll set up a new hive. I miss my bees. <sigh>
