Agree's with John. Also, certain message bees are "elected" to scout and communicate/alert to the other bees whenever theres a threat... or a treasure... that should be a shared experience.

So, if they find you/your gathering dangerous or a tempting food source they will gather - thanks to the messenger bees "gossip".

The only way to get queen bee pheromone off of you and deter the bees that it has summoned is to gas/smoke the bees in a special chemical spray that confuses and sedates them.... then run away as you remove the affected outer clothing.

If some one has a queen bee the the swarm will set on him. because the bees do not live without the queen.

if the person is covered in queen bee pheramones, bees will stay, because bees will identify the pheromone-covered person, and see them as a queen bee. The bees will only fly away if they feel threatened, ar need to leave.
