first of all... Bees don't bite. and Bees are Not usually aggressive.
They are usually just flying from flower to flower, that's all, and if you are in the way, just move, they will fly right past you. I have picked up many Queen bees and not been stung. don't be afraid unless you swat them and try to hurt them they won't bother you.
They're not like Wasps, Wasps can be mean and sting just because you get in the way. Yet once again i have removed many wasps from my house by using a towel and picking them up with it and putting the Wasps out side where they prefer to be.

Bees don't bite. But you are more likely to get stung if you are swatting at them whenever they come near you. I work in a prairie full of wild flowers and I brush them off their flowers all the time, most of the time they don't get angry at all. I haven't been stung doing that yet. If you try to get close to a hive you could be stung as they will protect their home and queen, but if you avoid large swarms of them you shouldn't have too much of an issue. Wasps and Hornets tend to be more aggressive than "bees" but you may be including them in your fear as well. Again, stay away from their nests if you see them. They won't just come sting you for fun, you have to anger them. If one is buzzing around you, just move away, don't swat at it or freak out, chances are it'll leave you alone.
Secondly, I'd like to add that if you do get stung it is not that severe of a pain, unless you're allergic. Some people react worse than others but being afraid of them is not worth staying inside all the time. If you have bees/hornets living outside your home there is poison that you can spray their nests with. Do it at dusk when they gather at their nest and soak it generously so they are too wet to fly.
Hope this helps!

I have a friend who was attacked by bees, so I know what you mean. If one lands on you, stay absolutely still. Then it will just think you are a wooden post and fly away. If you're going to go outside, don't wear bright colours or else it will think you are a flower. My friend (mentioned above) and I were chased by a bee because we were wearing colourful floral scarves! Don't pick flowers, because this might shake a bush and disturb them. And if you're worried about killer bees, don't believe all the hype. They are simply a bit more agressive than honeybees and will not kill you. Last of all, just stay calm and don't worry. You'll be fine.

bees don't bite they sting. I don't like them ether but I still go out side now what is your problem? do you have trees with hives? or do they just buzz around your head and in the flowers? if you have a hive then you may have a good reason but if they just fly around then you shouldn't worry too much as long as you don't bother them. I need more details first. sorry but other then that you ether stay inside or be brave and just go anyway.

Go outside anyway, and just don't bother them. Bees as a rule are pretty inoffensive. Yellowjackets (the short stubby yellow wasps) can be pretty aggressive in the fall, but still usually don't sting unless you're near the nest. As long as you don't swat at them, they're almost certain to not sting.

If you dont bother them, they wont sting you
Bees die shortly after they sting, and they know it
They only bite for the greater good of the hive, so just let them bee!
