Bees are generally quite docile. They will not sting unless they feel under threat. If a bee lands on you, don't swat at it with you hands -- that's threatening. Just keep still and it will fly away again.

If a situation arises where you are about to get stung by a bee would it be better to be scared or calm and why?

Bees will only sting if they feel threatened. If you keep calm when a bee comes near you are far less likely to be stung. If you keep still when a bee lands on you it will normally just fly away again.If you try to make the bee go away by swatting at it you may well provoke a stinging attack because the bee will see that as threatening.The only other time a bee may sting is if it gets caught in clothing or in your hair. Then it may sting out of panic when it can't get away.
