Some hives are more aggressive than others. I can mow near my hives MOST of the time - sometimes though I pull near the bee yard and they come out... Depends on weather, time of day, season, etc. I am glad everyone is okay - not fun to be the main subject of attention to an angry set of bees. I am sorry they had to be foamed, but while I love the bees (and the honey I get from them) I know people are more important. Sometimes you can't wait for someone to clear the swarm/hive. Typically a swarm is not aggressive as they have no home to defend. However, if they had an established hive nearby some can be VERY aggressive.

Thank you for your service Nightmare!
