1. Build screenwire cage 6'x6'x6'
2. Put camera with WA lens on tripod in one corner
3. Capture many bees
4. Put bees in cage
5. Go in cage
6. Activate self timer on camera

Much more efficient just to find the hive, set up the camera pointing at
it and stick your arm in.

If you could set up a webcam as well, that would be spiffy.

The answer is, very carefully! These bees don't eat people they sting them
to death by swarming.

Approach slowly if you must, I wouldn't though if I were you. When the
guard bees fly at you back off!!

That's was what I was told to do if I encountered them.

Oh yea forgot an important point.

Don't let even one sting you! The sting kills the bee but releases a
sent/pheramone that triggers the sarm attack.

If you try this I won't be at your funeral!

Rob,

You haven't noticed yet that that is the behaviour the OP is looking for?

So hit the hive with a stick, jump on them. Let them sting!
And don't forget to take the good advice given about how to capture the
event on film.
