Bees are so important to our ecosystem they 're found in all the continents except in cold areas like Antarctica cos there 're no trees. Bees help pollinate about 75 to 80% percent of the crops. Most people know the bees because they produce honey but we can also get beeswax, propolis, pollen, bee bread, apitoxin, royal jelly, etc with medicinal benefits but so much is under exploited in Zambia.
Bees are living animals, they reproduce and split occasionally (imagine a big village splitting because there is not enough land for farming for food, not enough land for building their houses or they can even abandon the whole village due to hunger in the village, thieves terrorizing the village, etc.
Similarly bees may abandon their home which we call a beehive or they split from the main group. In both cases, it will involve moving from one place to a new place looking for new sources of food, new home or safety/ peace. Now as the bees move to another place, they may get tired and need rest. At this point they can find rest anywhere.
It can be in a car, in your garden, on a tree, bicycle, shop, hospital, anywhere and anything they find along the flight route. Once they take rest and in few hours, a day or 2 days, they will leave the place peacefully. Bees on the move don't sting anyhow unless provoked. Bees sting because they are defending themselves or their home (hive). The bees will only be on the offensive or attack mode if where they are coming from someone who disturbed or destroyed their home ( hive). Bees are so intelligent that they cannot find any unsafe place to be their home but resting while transiting.
Do not kill them as they are very important to our environment, they pollinate our crops for us to have food and give us sweet honey for money
So many farmers are keeping bees and make money by selling honey. Do not associate bees with witchcraf and then kill them.
Yes, they will sting to defend themselves when provoked and humans also defend themselves when provoked.
