I was 60' up in a Deodar Cedar in early 80's . I was working near the Santa Clary County Airport and there were very few tall trees there. A group of people were watching me work when to their horror, I was covered entirely by a swarm of honeybees. They freaked out but I was so in awe of this I stayed calm. As fast as they came, they all left and I was able to continue my work. I never got a single sting.

I have encountered many hazards during my climbing work and I have learned that it is best to stay calm.
