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!

That's a good way of coaxing them into stinging. The sudden movements catch their eye. Slow, calm and deliberate...not so much. That attitude can be tough to keep up when getting stung, I know. Even if getting away from a hive, running isn't advised. Walking steadily away, weaving one's way through a grove of trees can be helpful, though once agitated there can be one or two jack-ass bees who simply won't stop until squashed, even if one retreats some twenty to thirty yards away. Flailing at them...usually just makes it worse.
