also avoid bright flower-like colored clothing, especially violet & yellow. dont want to go lay outside smelling & looking like a flower, right?

secondly, you can effectively gently shoo away bees without swatting them. never smack/swat a bee. either kill it with a for-sure crush kill, or gently shoo/push it away without any attempt to harm it (i find find they get the message - maybe even a little psychically). otherwise if ya smack it without killing it, some poor allergic person is going to the ER.
Or even better, just don't go outside. Problem solved. And if you have to I'm sure Anglewitch has a nice beekeeper outfit you can borrow, Raegan.

I'm so helpful.
