>>> My casual breathing (not intentional blowing on a frame to move
bees)started a frenzied buzzing and 'butts-up' reaction.

This reaction is something I like to call in my bees a "Not now!"
attitude. My bees don't mind my intrusions 'usually', but one in a while
I am forced to work the bees in less than ideal conditions  for example,
ahead of an approaching front. At these times the bees seem to be saying
"NOT NOW!"
