Yes, I have actually FF. When a farmer friend of mine died a few years back, I remember his wife saying she must go and tell the bees. She was quite insistent.

it is an old country custom and it was common when I was a little girl .If the bees were not told it was thought they would leave then there wouldn't be any honey.
