How is the following line a metaphor:
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honeybees.

it’s a metaphor because it compares two different things.

Answer: More context surrounding the question would help me to better solve the question.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am guessing the following line is an excerpt from some class-sanctioned reading material. The sentence is a metaphor because it literally compares the swarming of whatever is surrounding the Character to a group of bees buzzing around their hive. Bees are small and lovely insects that often fly fast - by comparing their flight patterns to whatever your main character might be going through gives off the impression that they are in a stressful situation.
