I'm in TN also, haven't seen any unusual bee activity. A friend raises
bees a few miles away and he hasn't seen or heard of any unusual bee
activity, either. Regular bees will often attack when their nest is
disturbed, as will wasps, etc. I'm allergic to most bee/wasp stings,
so I keep a close eye out for the little buggers.
