'Bees will not swarm before a storm' is a very old saying, but there is no documented proof that bees can predict storms.

However, bees will not leave the hive if the air temperature is below about 14C (57F), or if the wind speed is more than about 12 miles per hour, and either, or both, of these conditions often precedes a storm.

Can bees be domesticated?

It could be said the bees in beekeepers' hives have been domesticated, but that's not really true. Bees are very much creatures of instinct and they react to stimuli, but they don't have the brain power to reason and they almost certainly don't recognize the beekeeper as 'their owner'.Beekeepers learn to manipulate the bees' environment to make the bees do what is wanted. This usually works, but not always -- there are many books about beekeeping, but the bees can't read so don't always do what is expected.Even in law, bees are classified as wild animals, not farm stock or domestic. And they don't make good pets!
