I have a hive in the garden and am fortunate to have very docile bees apart from two.
If you get close to the hive they buzz right around your head non-stop. If you walk away they follow.
To prove a point, I walked up to the hive and then walked off with these two dive bombing my veil and my friend (a fellow newbie beekeep) walked up to the hive and was ignored completely. As soon as the two that were following me got bored as I was far enough away, they started on him.
There is always one, well two in my case !
