As a beekeeper myself. I didn't find the story that amazing. 100 lbs of honey is not a lot. Some years you can get a lot of honey supers off a single hive and still leave 60 lbs behind -so the bees can survive winter (in Minnesota). But if the story makes people more aware of bees good job. Honey bees are the most gentle animal winter, spring, and summer. But in fall when you take their honey off they are just vicious.
