Beekeeping: Beginner’s Anxiety?

I installed my first package of bees yesterday, and started to panic a little when they all started flying around me. I kept my cool and finished the job, but after I got inside the house, removed my bee suit and veil, I had an anxiety attack!!

It took me a good two hours to calm down. And as it was getting darker, and I went out to check on the bees, one buzzed by my ear and I panicked again. I kept my cool, but my heart was racing!

I wonder if any other beekeepers felt this way when they started, and it gets better as you work with the bees and become more familiar with them. Or, am I just apiphobic and should give the whole enterprise up?
