Could you stand in the middle of a massive swarm of bees?

Um, no.

Richard Luther of Pennsylvania did and he was absolutely buzzing about it. Sorry, yes, we felt compelled to use the obvious pun there.

"I got 20,000 bees swarming around me right now getting read to move into my garage to set up their home. This is amazing,” Luther exclaimed.

Luther is a beekeeper and he left some honeycomb in a big pile of boxes to lure them to his home. He claims bees are not aggressive when they’re in a swarm because they’re busy looking for a new home, which is why he didn’t get attacked.
