Hello to ferocius wild beasts
I must say that I never had really a problem with those definitions since I
always considered bees as wild animals in conducive housings provided
humans for their (Humans) benefit. Irrespective whether we (Humans) trying
to manipulate their genetic traits, they (Bees) are still wild ferocious
beasts because they never gave up their tool nor the inclination to use that
tool.
Therefore---- there is no such bee which can be regarded as a domestic
creature and the prudent manipulator dresses accordingly.
And then there is the difference by observation between "wild" Dogs in
Africa and feral dogs as witnessed in Esfahan. But that is a long epistle.
Meantime, don't forget the veil, smoker, wet or dry.
