This woman must have a particular calming effect on bees; she doesn’t use any protective gear, doesn’t seem get stung;

You beat me to it.
A whole ass swarm of bees would take a while to accumulate, I presume…

Most bee keepers develop an immunity to honey bee venom. She’s probably just honey badgering it.

I’ve since learned that it’s not unusual for bees to seek refuge in vehicles. My one encounter involved a single bee that had latched itself onto my ceiling. If it moved at all, I missed it. Apparently, when bees are nearing death they look for secluded areas. Sad, really. I plucked it off the next day. Poor little boi.

Your story is quite understandable.
The one in the article, though… not so much.

Yes an entire swarm can set up shop quickly. There was prolly another queen in a hive. She left and some of the hive followed her. I’ve seen this happen when a swarm occurs. (father used to raise bees). And if you arent bothering the bees the bees wont bother you.

Perhaps the swarm had made a suicide pact.
