While some users said that the clip made anxious, others bombarded the comments section with all kinds of questions. One user wrote, “Like, why didn’t they just move the hive? I have SOOOOO many questions!?” Another replied and wrote, “They may have been swarming due to a lost hive. They don’t sting while swarming”. 

A user also explained that the swarming occurs when a new queen bee emerges, a chunk of the previous colony breaks off to start a new hive. “At this point, the bee swarm looks absolutely scary but it’s the most docile ever because it’s only looking for a new home while protecting the queen,” wrote another. Several users also shared hilarious GIFs and wrote that the man gives “supervillain vibes”.
