it’s a form of “telling the bees”, a type of folklore magic where it was considered just as important for beekeepers to ‘tell the bees’ of important life events such as births, deaths, pregnancies, marriages, etc, or else it was considered bad luck and incredibly rude

I mean, in England you just literally go to the hive and tell them, with your voice. You might decorate the hive and leave a bit of the food from the funeral/wedding/christening party, so they don’t feel left out of the big occasion.
You can do all of those things without touching a single bee.
