 I've been doing a lot of alcohol washes at my home yard.  At times, bees start bumping my head when I start working with the jars of bees in rubbing alcohol.  I don't know whether they are stimulated by odors of the alcohol-killed bees, the alcohol, or something else.  But their odd behavior is noticeable.

I mentioned this in conversation,  but the cheaper wood alcohol  is an irritant to them and cause them to be very aggressive while doing washes  even 20-30 feet from the hive.
