Rabid Vampire Bees!!!

[Thymallus]

My bees are well behaved... I have selected them that way by deliberately not introducing foreign grumpy grouchy bad temper alleles!

That wasn't the point I was trying to make. I was suggesting, possibly because of the late cold spring and current spell of cold windy weather, that tempers are not as per the norm. This may be regional and given the usual clement weather in Cornwall you may not have experienced this.
Posts from other people elsewhere in the UK suggest that they have.

AND that is both in my pure bred New Zealand Italians and the pure Cornish Amms... whatever your lengthy studbooks may declare!

This is a known effect of inbreeding.

They stung my visiting uncle yesterday twice on the face when he was about 20-30 ft from the hive.

thinking about this, you may not have a problem at all...

Did he swipe at them when they approached him?

The quickest way to get stung with even the most placid bees is to flail your hands about when they're near you and hit them.
The second sting as we know will just be the consequence of the pheromones from the first.

The distinctive idea of assume is to take by one's own independent volition, whether well or ill, rightfully or wrongfully. One may accept an obligation or assume an authority that properly belongs to him, or he may assume an obligation or indebtedness that could not be required of him. He may assume authority or office that is his right; if he assumes what does not belong to him, he is said to arrogate or usurp it. A man may usurp the substance of power in the most unpretending way; what he arrogates to himself he assumes with a haughty and overbearing manner. One assumes the robes or insignia of office by putting them on, with or without right. If he takes to himself the credit and appearance of qualities he does not possess, he is said to affect or feign, or to pretend to, the character he thus assumes. What a debater postulates he openly states and takes for granted without proof; what he assumes he may take for granted without mention. A favorite trick of the sophist is quietly to assume as true what would at once be challenged if expressly stated. What a man claims he asserts his right to take; what he assumes he takes.

Affect... not effect... general mistake made by academiks!

What strain of bees do people have ?
British bee, mongrels, Italian, buck fast, don't know ?
Here in NZ we don't tolerate nasty bees in suburbs or risky areas.

I think the answer is "all of the above".
