No, no problem, I walked all around and between the hives- most bee species aren't interested in you, unless you touch the hive. You can even drive a huge vibrating lawn mower past and they still couldn't care less- but if you go tap tap tap on the box they'll chase you down the road.
The killer bee strain however was unusual in defending a large territory around the hive. Don't know what happened to them...
