An amazing story of the beehives that survived even though they were very close to the volcano.

The bees, known in the region as the Canary black bee, used propolis, a resin-like mixture sometimes known as bee glue, to seal themselves inside.
They even built a little tunnel in their hive to make sure they could escape if they needed to.
Antonio Quesada, spokesperson for the Gran Canaria Beekeepers Association, told the New York Times: “It’s incredible how such a tiny animal that has been around for hundreds of thousands of years can maintain that resilience, that ability to survive.”
Breathe and try to be nice to people 🙂
