Hey I'm with you I see opportunity there. However my sister used to have and I'm sure she still has a bee/spider dance. I'm sure you've seen it rapidly running inplace slowly rotating elbows tight to her side and wrists flapping wildly, a squeal near the dog only pitch.

so, was that caused by hitting a queen, and getting pheromone on the car?
all the swarms out here are always looking for someplace cool to set up house.

The swarm eventually left, so I don't know if the queen was killed enroute. The car was parked fo several hours so I'm guessing it was just a convenient place to rest?
