In general, bee "swarms" are not aggressive. They may be scary, but they don't attack people because they aren't defending a colony.

Now if he stumbled across a ground hive of hornets, or swatted a hornets nest in a tree or bush, they'd teach him a lesson.

But honeybees could care less about people while they are swarming. You can get stung, but only while trying to capture the swarm, and usually only by the grumpy ones (there's always one).

Africaninized bees are another story though. I never see those.
