Lose bees, and you will.

Agreed.

And you are, of course, quite right about their behaviour. As I posted,
bees are cuddly creatures. I am no beekeeper, and will move them with
my bare hands, have had them on my face and so on. They sting only
when partially squished. So would I, in their position :-)

But, almost all of the time, they fly from hive to flower and back
again, and we don't bother each other.
