They are amazing to watch but they are very agressive if you go after
them

Well, the trick is....don't go after them! They are looking for a mate,
they're only interested in that, they aren't aggressive at all. Why kill
them? We need all the pollinators we can get.


You better do some research on these bees.

I have, Tom, I've got a couple that have set up housekeeping in my
porch every year now for the past 14 years or so. House is still
standing, and I haven't been stung yet, even though they check me out
every time I leave my door and sit on my bench.
