They are not aggressive....

 

Especially the Buckfast strain developed many years ago by Brother Adam.

They're very mild mannered and not prone to stinging in a way that some other strains are.

 

ETA: I just recalled that there used to be a strain called Midnite that was very gentle—but it appears that strain has disappeared or at least isn't readily available.. :S

"The late Dr. G.H. Cale, a leading authority on honey bees and a honey bee geneticist with Dadant and Sons was responsible for producing a hybrid line of honey bees bred for gentleness and high honey productivity called the “Midnite."
