Nice one! That is so funny. I can't tell how many times I was sitting with folks at a picnic table and someone sitting with us violently swaps at a bee....
It's like dude... you either kill it, leave it alone, or gently shoo it away. If you swat at it without killing it, you're just going to get someone stung... maybe someone with a deathly allergy.
I gently shoo bees away, and they leave. I don't know why, but they get difference. Plus cucumber skins and peppermint keep bees away.
