What if we're talking about something bigger. What if BEE's are comets or asteroids
Imagine that you are driving at 60 miles per hour down a rural highway. Unbeknownst to you, a swarm of bees is crossing the highway just ahead of you. In the blink of an eye your vehicle plows right through the middle of the swarm, and in that instant dozens of bees are splattered over the front of your car.
Had you arrived at that point on the highway only seconds later, you would have encountered only the trailing portion of the swarm and struck only a few bees. Had you been even later than that you might only have hit one or two stragglers and missed the main swarm altogether.
Striking a few bees with your car is not a big deal, and we wouldn’t give it much thought. But much the same thing happens on much larger scale, not with your car, but with the entire Earth. The Earth travels around the Sun at a tremendous speed, over 100,000 kilometers per hour (about 67,000 miles per hour or about 18 miles per second).
The space through which the Earth travels is largely empty, so there is not much for the Earth to hit as it speeds along. But it is not totally empty; there are scattered bits of dust and the occasional little rock, and when the Earth collides with one the dust grain or small rock plows into the atmosphere at a combined speed sometimes reaching hundreds of kilometers per second.
