The air is filled with a pungent smell that wreaks havoc on the sensitive olfactory senses of bees. It is an unwelcome aroma to the buzzing creatures, and something must be done to keep them away!
The rivalry between bees and vinegar has been simmering for centuries. Despite its unmistakable aroma, the bees are not fans of the acidic condiment. But vinegar’s presence in beehives – and the risk it poses to its stinging inhabitants – is making this aromatic disagreement quite literal.
