Yep. Bee's have nothing but a defensive reflex. They are all about protecting the hive. They react intensely to pheromones and sight. Today's honey bees will sting you, but in reality, they are actually quite docile.I used to catch bees as a kid. Watch them in a jar for a bit then release them. I still love watching them move from flower to flower and I never understood why people don't educate themselves on simple things. Such as the fact, unlike a wasp, a bee won't sting you unless at extreme risk, as their stinger is hooked and they will die afterwards. Unlike a wasp who has a straight stinger for the record.
