Answer 1

If they are upset they swarm out of the nest. Some bees can see darker colors like a bear and will sting that. Some bees can detect carbon dioxide from our breath and will sting that. Some bees will just sting anything that moves. Some bees memorize what it looks like outside their hive and sting anything new.
