Sprinting a quarter mile to outrun killer bees would be a hell of a workout. If I could even hold a sprint that long without keeling over from a heart attack. By the end of the quarter mile I'd probably just give up and let the little bastards take me.

That sounds like a great idea for a VR fitness game.

I just walked slowly. They didn’t even sting me. But bees crawling in your ears is something you never forget.

In my case the bees (Africanized bees) were really aggressive. Some kids were throwing rocks in their beehive a few seconds before my sister and I passed by (that was in an almost deserted public street).

The bees were really angry and we got stung multiple times. Luckily we’re not allergic and were able to run away. They stopped attacking after we were out of range (my guess), about 70 meters away.

Edit: typo.
