"Swarm" is a collective noun and takes a singular verb. Although many bees make a swarm, it is meant to be taken as one whole. The correct sentence is, "There was a swarm of bees (chasing me)."

The sentence could be rearranged to read, "A swarm of bees was chasing me."

See the related link for subject/verb agreement rules. Rules 3, 4, and 18 address this question.
