Which bee chases you?

Which bee chases you depends on situation, as most bees do not chase humans unless their hive or nest is disturbed, but social bees that defend colonies will chase intruders who threaten nest. Honeybees will chase you if you disturb their hive, as guard bees defend colony and will chase intruder for 50 to 100 meters, sometimes more, releasing alarm pheromones that alert other bees to danger and cause them to become aggressive and chase, though honeybees are generally docile when foraging away from hive and will not chase. Bumblebees will also chase if their nest, which is often underground or in cavities, is disturbed, as they defend nest, though they are less likely to chase far. Africanized honeybees, also called killer bees, are known for being more defensive and chasing intruders for longer distances, up to several hundred meters, and in larger numbers, making them more dangerous, though they are not present everywhere. Solitary bees like mason bees and leafcutter bees do not chase, as they do not defend nests aggressively and rarely sting. So bee that chases you is social bee defending colony, particularly honeybee and bumblebee when nest disturbed, with Africanized honeybee being most likely to chase far and aggressively, while foraging bees away from nest will not chase you if you run.
