Hum, Your protest isn’t being heard by the upper echelon.
Dewey M. Caron says there are “aggressive bees”

“Multiple stings may be an indication of aggressive bees.”
Call um, pissed off, frisky, testy, stingy, mad, upset…
When the a colony is ‘proactive’, coming out stinging at the approach of a
vehicle, instead of 'reactive' to simuli to the colony itself, IMO, that
is ‘aggressive’.
