When bees are present in a swarm around people often times there is panic.
When people panic, the bees start to panic as well and are more likely to attack.
Some of the bees can get angry.
The best thing to do is to stay calm if you can.
Here are 6 mistakes that people make when surrounded by bees: · Swing at the bees that are attacking them: when bees think they are in danger they will attack.
Bees will release a chemical to rally other bees to join in the attack · Staying still when a swarm of bees are around you: run the other direction being careful not to provoke them.
Run indoors or jump in water · Leave face unprotected: the face is a common place for bees to sting.
Cover your face with your hands for protection.
Make sure you can see as you are running away · Leave skin unprotected: cover as much of your body as possible with clothing · Leave open drinks and food around them: bees are attracted to food, picnic spreads and drinks · Wearing perfume scents and bright colored floral prints: yellow is especially attractive to bees and they are naturally attracted to it.
Avoid wearing banana scents and lotions, hair sprays, fragrant soaps and deodorants Keeping your cool and making the right choices when surrounded by bees will help prevent bee stings and attacks.
Educate those around you and especially your children when outdoors to keep bees at bay.
Be aware of bees that are around you when you are outside.
