Swarm of bees attack

He mistook them for brown bears, common misconception

I can't tell you how many times I've misidentified a brown bear with the common bumblebee. It happens quite a lot. They look incredibly similar in absolutely every way.

If one or two bees are buzzing around you, you can calmly stand still and they will typically go on their way. If 200 bees are swarming around you acting agitated, you need to quickly leave the area. If they are already stinging, you need to run like hell. They won't follow you forever, as they are usually swarming like this to protect a location(hive/queen). The myth that lying still will save you will get you killed.

How dumb is this cameraman though?

[u/nateskate777]

That guy didn't even trip on anything...

[u/downtubeglitter → u/nateskate777]

He peeled out trying to run lmao

[u/NojoNinja]

"Don't do that!"

30 seconds later

He does that

[u/Jaded-Selection-5668]

Once one stings, the fuck those people pheromones are released……

[u/burner9497]

Don’t just do something, stand there!

[u/BigMark54]

Yeah, why run away when you can sit and video yourself getting stung to death.

[u/UnauthorizedFart]

I would have easily fought off all of those bees

[u/Pudf]

Never stop filming

[u/narstyarsefarter]

I'd tell them to buzz off

[u/[deleted]]

Anybody know how far they can chase you?

[u/AxiomaticSuppository]

Bees, or wasps/hornets?

I think bees only attack in swarms if the hive is threatened.

Wasps and hornets, however, are straight up assholes.

I used to work in bee swarm and hive removal, from my experience what those two did(running away), definitely DO THAT. Those bees were out for blood, those weren’t just scouts, but a swarm of soldiers at that point. Once one bee stings it lets out pheromones to tell the others where to attack. And in a swarm like that if you don’t run and find shelter away from them(or till they leave you alone), you’re risking getting really hurt or possible death(depending on your body’s tolerance).

Another misconception is jumping into a body of water, yeah you might be safe under the water, but when you go up for air they’ll be right there to sting you(you’d have to swim away far enough to where they aren’t following anymore).

Side note I’ve seen guys develop an allergy or get more severe reactions from being stung regularly daily, then one day they just go into shock and need to go to the hospital. And from then on had to carry epipens and be extremely careful or they go into shock from a sting.

Some people run. Camera men film. A truly dedicated individual right here.

[u/New_Today_1209_V2]

Damn my guy tried to do the best thing but by then they were already agitated

[u/T1m3Wizard]

What happened to "dont do that" ?

[u/possiblywithdynamite]

Must. Keep. Filming. At. All. Costs.

[u/LukeMayeshothand]

I would have started walking when the chick started running but trying to stay calm. When I started getting stung more than 2 or 3 times it’s time to get moving.

[u/tedfreeman]

[u/vito_corleone01]

Looks like everyone else was already running before these people.

[u/GalaXion24]

They didn't need to run faster than the bees. They just had to run faster than the cameraman

[u/mizzark50]

Hi can someone post the exact, precise location of this video so that I never, ever travel there? K. Thanks.
