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.
Yes. There was a risk, but much less than driving to an airport.

Or possibly even flying. Our last experience when the landing gear
wouldn't retract & they couldn't be sure it would lock down, has made
me much happier with bees. I'm sure you follow my logic!
There is a far higher accident rate driving from airports. Something
to do with passengers drinking alcohol to calm their nerves.
Lol! On the flight I mentioned upthread, the steward offered me a cup
of tea, took one look at my face & brought a large brandy. I wasn't
driving home!
