I will agree that there ARE overly aggressive honeybees in ALL races/strains. Just like there are overwhelmingly gentle/wimpy ones that run away and hide sorta. But mostly bees are very workable and it takes much to really get them going/setoff in working our hives. HIves that do set off, going into a beeyard before you even get out of vehicle are to be requeened,.... for rule of thumb is, if that hot, they can only mate gentler!! But I'd inspect first to see if something had just happened to be setting them off too to put them on guard as things do happen. As for the wimpy ones......I don't think anyone cares! But they certainly are not normal either.
