When I was younger (and less carefull) a freind and I played a trick on a rancher that use to run us off his land. So we took about 6 of his beehives and hid them in a raveen under a tree about 50 feet away. The last one swarmed us. I got stung about 6 times. It hurt a little for the rest of the day, but it was no big deal. Jumping through the rusty barbed wire and cutting my back was worse.
Bees are usually passive, and I work around them outside and have never been stung since. As long as you don't piss them off, or move their home, the'll usually leave you alone.
And I love honey. I sqirt that little Hunny Bear into my tea every night.
