I recently used some homeopathic "rescue" remedy on a sting in my nose to see if it would help my watering eyes (usually I use crushed honeysuckle flowers). My previously calm hive went ballistic, similar to your description. The next day walking through my home beeyard I was attacked on the same spot repeatedly, until I took a long hot shower, then they were fine. Did you have any different smells on you between beeyards?
