It's well-known that swarming bees are much less likely to sting because
their particular objective is to gather round the queen. It's their
driving force at that time, so obstacles in their path are more likely
to be disregarded.

I am trying to picture a solitary bee swarming.

Lol! Haven't you heard of busy bees! But I was answering Nick's comment
that he'd walked - carefully - through swarms.
