I wonder...some certain deodorants perhaps? It must be something. Honeybees, particularly when foraging don't have much of anything to protect and will usually have no interest in stinging, even if they're crawling on a person.

They don't like dark clothing...but away from their hive, it's not like they go out and hunt things to sting. That would be counterproductive.

Deodorant, perhaps. I try to get ones that aren’t scented.

Although, it is me mostly. As soon as I hear that “buzzing” I run. I’ve seen many people just stand there while a bee is buzzing around and the bee goes away.

Perhaps it is my experience’s as a child of being stung, we all were, lol.

Unfortunately, as an adult, my first reaction to a “buzz” is to run, while swinging my arms around wildly. Anyone around me just laughs!

I love Bees. I think they are fascinating creatures. They provide such a benefit to us in pollinating and creating honey. I have told my children they are NEVER to go out of there way to kill a bee. Spiders are another story. Yes they eat flies which I also hate, but spiders are so evil looking, HATE them.
