You know, that's one of the ways I learned to control the phobia. There's something about talking to them that cuts the fear off, or turns it down. Can't say that leave when I ask them too, but it really helps to talk to them.
I think it has a lot to do with pheromones and energy and phenomenon we haven't fully discovered or explained yet ... I don't go too far into the science of it but I do believe that between humans we can 'sense' certain energies, personalities, feelings or anxieties between ourselves ... and I think that same process happens between species as well. If we feel fear, anxiety, apprehension or aggression, I think most animals and insects would be able to sense that. There is even some research that suggests that same kind of energy or connection also happens between plants and with plants and trees.
There is a lot of science and biology that leans towards the possibility that there is more to our natural world than what we see, hear, touch and taste. And I think that is why we have these kind of unusual interactions with animals and insects more often than would be explained by chance.
I can definitely say that as my phobia faded, I got buzzed less by any of them. That could be perception shifting more than reality, but I swear that even standing near a hive, they reacted different the calmer I got. They had to be smelling a difference or something.
