Timely subject. Yesterday while digging up stumps with the track loader I dug up a big nest of yaller jackets. Them varmints stung me 8 times on my back, face and side before I was able to get away (crawlers don't run very fast in 2nd gear). I exacted my revenge on the nest with gasoline. This is about the 5th or 6th nest that we have dug up since clearing a fence row through the woods. First time stung so I guess I should consider myself lucky.

I thought I was HAD a few weeks ago.. I had just cut a blackberry tangled hedgeapple, and when the tree hit the ground and I shut off the saw, I realized the ground was buzzing.. Once my heart started up again, I started backing up through the brambles (on foot), fully expecting the buzz to get louder and the ground to just erupt with hornets.. Just about then, about a half dozen bumblebees flew out and that was that.. :lol:

Talk about relieved..
