Bees are chill.
Wasps are angry motherfuckers and will fight 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.

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
