It's a bit of a weird idea to keep bees in your house

But you get free honey though

I've seen something about beekeeping on Animal Planet. You need to carry a suit that protects you against the bees. And when you want to get access to the honey, you need to use some kind of smoke that paralyzes the bees.

Off Topic:

but protect the honey, or you'll get Winney the Pooh in your garden soon

your right about the bee suit but the smoking is not quite to paralyze them. Bees react to fire by gauging them selves on honey now when you put smoke over them they think its a fire and start to eat honey crazily which then intern makes them very heavy and not interested in attacking.

Ah, so when I get attacked by bees, I just throw honey at them and then light a cigarette
