Depends on the country you are in. Where I live, bees are very docile. I've stroked them before now and not been stung. I'm aware that there are types of bee you should be more careful of, though, like African bees.
They're no more dangerous individually than any other bee but they pursue for longer, send out for much higher numbers of reinforcements, and I think they go into attack mode with less provocation.
Is it normal to be terrified of bees?
