    Had a friend at a wedding who came across a swarm. He didn't have a box so he put the branch in his van, put on his beekeeping suit and drove home. They got agitated and he admits he was driving faster than, perhaps, he should and got pulled over. He held his licence and beekeepers card to the window as the cop changed from the "roll your window down" gesture to "GO GO GO!!!"

      I guess it might be, because most people start panicing when there is hundreds of bees around them. They try to shoo away the bees with fast moves, and this might make the bees agressive (defensing).
      Maybe, when you stay calm like she is, nothing will happen?!
