I felt pretty bad for them too. The whole thing is far more about the stupid human trick factor, than teh stupid bee trick factor.
years ago, when I was in Ireland, my roommate at teh time disturbed a beehive that was in our basement. And the house filled up with bees that she said seemed drunk and hibernating and then died. She collected them in a little pile and used them in her art. To this day, we all call her Bee Girl. Anyway, I got home from Ireland knowing none of this. As I walk in the door with the then boyfriend, she says, "I need to tell you something" which is never a good thing, but certainly rarely heralds "there was a bee event."
