Bees are chill.

Wasps are angry motherfuckers and will fight you

Came here to say this.

Just don't make them angry and you are fine.

If you ever have a nest, call a keeper and they will move it for free for you

Most Bees are chill. Some, especially if they're guarding their hive/nest, can be aggressive to anyone getting too close.

I've been stung half a dozen times just by minding my own business riding a bike, and a couple of bees thought I was attacking them by driving by.

Were you perhaps eating a banana? Apparently to some bees bananas give off smells that are quite similar to disstress or 'defend/fight' pheromones

That's actually good to know! Potentially. I do like morning Bananas! That could explain it.

12000 bees sounds like a lot, but a normal hive can have around 50000 bees in the summer. One time I loaded 3 hives into the backseat of my car because they needed to be transported, and as I was driving I thought what if I hit a pothole or something and they all tip over, I'll have like 150k bees in the car with me.

Yeah I would avoid transporting them that way..

Just slap the hive and say "that ain't going anywhere" and itll be fine

"My" solitary bees don't give a fuck what I do to their bee houses. Cute, chill little ladies.

Depends on the bees. Bumble bees and honey bees are beebros. If you're a bro they will know, and be your bro.

If they are "killer bees". They gonna "fuck yo shit up" no matter what. That door glass won't protect you for long.
