What is it with Bee's and Wasps, they will only attack with the only
defence they have if threatened, most people flap around like a demented
rabbit so they defend themselves.

I have tried teaching this to my children, but to no avail. :-( I think
they see other kids over-reacting, where they've learnt it from parents
(mothers particularly) and they just copy.

Personally, when I was a child I accidentally did a cartwheel with my hand
on a bee (on the school field), and as I stood up it just got up and flew
away, no harm to anyone.
