Swarms of bees should be reported to the agriculture commissioner of your county. If caught in a swarm of stinging bees, try to run away and find shelter. Do not swat at the bees. Crushed bees release a scent that incites the other bees to attack. If you are stung numerous times, especially around the face area, a trip to the emergency room for evaluation is a very good idea.
