No. It’s pretty much the same with humans. I have a natural bee colony in a big oak tree beside the house. All but one of them leave me along. The exception is the one I call Guard Bee. Obviously, a succession of individual bees have held the job, which is clearly to patrol a 50-foot perimeter and attack anything that does leave promptly. Leaving it along won’t help. Squashing it will, at least until they find a replacement. Sometimes, you have to squash people, too.
