When visitors are in the moment, observing thousands of bees functioning as a single productive unit.  It drives the imagination to wonder at their level of automation on a scale we can only struggle to achieve.  All their breeding of new  bees, honeycomb nest building and honey we eat is achieved in the dark by sense of touch without the need to see what they are doing. They only use their eyes to exist in the other world of daylight, where we live.

What the bees do when we lift out the combs varies by the weather at the time, when during the year and their mood on the day, docile or aggressive nothing can be guaranteed.  But it is not always the true intention of the bees to be aggressive.  If you think about it, any wild animal that has its home disrupted, broken apart or disturbed needs defending from the invader and then they will defend very effectively.  However we approach the opening of the hive slowly and calmly So you have to know when to respect, retreat and to leave well alone and come back another day.
