1. Supposedly, swarming bees have no interest other than the protection of the queen. However should they get in your hair and get trapped I think it likely that they would sting. A bee (but not a wasp) can only sting once then dies as it cannot retract it’s sting. I have stood within three feet of two separate swarms of about 2,000 bees without any problem. A Discovery channel documentary said that you could stroke the swarm like a cat. I was very tempted but declined to do so.
2. The problem with a bee or wasp sting is that some people may go into ‘anaphalactic’ shock which if not treated quickly with antihistamine can/could be fatal.
1. if you have a fire extingisher, bees are get away from smoke, i am not telling you to burn the house down:p, the bees mostprobably are looking for flowers, part of their life cycle. if you don’t want to take any risk call some expert.
2. getting stung by a bee is not that painful, but the roblem is that its thorn gets stuck into you once it stings you, killing the bee, and if there are a fleet of bees stay away. and alargies may be herited from an ancestor, in this case your mother.
