I think that should count as a find. If you have placed your hand on a cache and were driven away by bees ( I hate stinging insects) that is not your fault. You've found the cache. I would not consider that to be different than hiking into a cache and discovering that you lost your pen. I found a cache in late March of this year that I could not sign. That would be because the cache was buried under 6 inches of the clearest ice I have seen. I did not have the ice auger required to get it, but I was able to see it and place my hand within 6 inches of it. (That was frustrating, but made a cool photo) I found the cache, I claimed the cache, and I went in about a month later and signed it when I was in the area.
