Are they Honeybees?
Unless the bees are bothering you, guests, or children.........just let them BEE, they are just drinking, they are not going to stop drinking to sting you or anyone else.
Many Beekeepers, work bees all day, with no protection.
Look on YouTube, and lookup The Fatbeeman and J P TheBeeman and look what he does barehanded and with no protection.
In Arizona, as you know, there is colonies of Africanized bees, if it was them, you would know it.
