Nah. Had she been driving a VW bug, the bees would have ignored her.
After all, why would they take notice of another bug.

If you Delete Blocks on one particular terminal that I work with,
it says:

Blocks have bee
removed.

(due to a margin error). I think this guy could do with one of these
terminals.

It was an Envoy (not even an Envoy XL). Not a mini-SUV, but not a big
honklin one either (for a picture see
http://www.news-banner.com/index/news-app/story.4691 ). And bees get ****ed
at car drivers as well (http://www.kten.com/Global/story.asp?S=5150156).

That reminds me of a case where a rock climber was killed as a result of
a run-in with so-called "killer bees" (actually African-ized bees).

The stings didn't kill him - he fell off a cliff trying to avoid him.
Another climber was hospitalized due to stings. He didn't fall off the
cliff.
