When I was first laid off from my broadcasting tech/producer job, I took a job with a company that installed equipment in cell phone station sites.  One was next to a commercial apiary (honey bee farm)...it was massive...acres of hives...and they were out working the hives and so all the bees were out swarming.  There was a guy in our crew who the night before had used the motel shampoo, the whole bottle, just loping over with fragrance...The bees were attracted to the smell and were swarming around his head...He was slapping at them, frustrated...one of the apiary workers came to the fence line and advised, "You shouldn't slap at them, they could turn ugly and attack you as a group..."

Oddly enough, this is true. Also, don't wear dark colors if you think you will be exposed to bees or wasps.

Very good! I like it even though I am a 'wasp'.
