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.
