This has never happened to me before and I am baffled. Blinking Confused Bumble Bee gone mad!

I was in the yard with the two dogs, minding our own business, when a Bumble Bee cops an attitude and starts charging at us. First one dog, then the other, then me and just kept it up. I had to scoop up the dogs and run into the house. We were not in close proximity to the plants where the Bumble Bees usually work and nowhere near the nest which is under my house about 25 feet away. Can anyone tell me what would have caused this behavior so I can avoid any future problems.

Oh, and I was under the impression that Bumble Bees don't sting. I did a Google search and yes, they can sting but thankfully not today.
