First, let me emphasize that bees are by nature not hostile. They may be curious, and they may be attracted to flower-scented perfume, but they will only attempt to sting in self defence or to protect the colony.

If only a small number of bees take an interest in you, just keep still or move slowly. If there is a tree or wall close by go to it and keep very still, a bee's vision is not good at seeing detail, so you will merge in with the background, but they are very good at seeing any movement.

Try to protect your face -- cover it if possible -- because that is the most likely target for any stings. Above all do notswat at them, that will only make them more angry.

If you are being followed by bees, try going through obstacles such as hedges, trees, gateways, doorways -- anything where the bees lose sight of you, especially if it is difficult for them to fly through to follow you. Above all, if you know where the hive is, keep moving away from it. They will then feel less need to protect the colony and will lose interest in you.
