Pecans are one of the trees honey bees forage.
When honey bees swarm they will only fly about 3 feet before stopping to let the queen rest. She has weak flying muscles due to not doing much flying prior as to the swarming.
They will choose an object in that 3 feet range which can be anything from a shrub to a human.
As long as the queen is not threatened the swarm will not be aggressive.
