Not only getting stung a few times with that many bees nearby.

Several years ago I was helping at a farm and there were honey bees all over the place, the crop had pollinated and when bundles of the crop came to me, I had to begin processing it and the stuff was covered in bees, hundreds at a time! I'm normally apprehensive about being too close to things that sting but these bees left me alone, they just wanted the pollen. It was surreal.

I only got one bite, not a sting, and that was because I had put a bunch of plants under my arm to carry them a short distance and there was a bee in there so it bit me, didn't hurt much or very long. Our local honey bees are pretty passive for bees.
