The way they do that is to place a queen bee in a cage under their chin. The swarm will surround her. Swarming is the one time that bees are extremely gentle.

I almost went into anaphylactic shock just looking at that.

It spiked my anxiety for real. My heart started beating faster

I actually like bees. I'm just careful around them. I've never been stung by a honey bee unless it was panicked (grabbed [I was 6] stepped on, hit when flying along by a motorcyclist).

The male bees are drones and exist for the sole purpose of mating with the queen bee on her maiden flight. In the fall as winter approaches the workers drive the drones out of the hive to die.
