Bee's nest

[Named'em Tamed'em]

I had a cow come up open (blood tested bred to Hoover Dam at 38 days) yesterday. I ran her into the chute, snubbed up her halter and out came the bees. They had nested in the pipe :shock:

That's the fastest I have ever put a straw in! :lol:

bees or wasps?

They were over an inch long and "segmented" more than a yellow jacket. They didn't fly as well either. I guess I used a generic term.

I had the same thing happen last summer. I was doing ear tattoos. They were nested under a bracket at the back of the chute. Wasps. Got me on the elbow. Now I spray that area with wasp repellent. They did not nest there this summer.

sounds like some kind of wasp

Yellow jackets are the bane of my existence here, but we have other wasps that look kinda similar, nest under roof overhangs, (open nests), and they really don't bother anyone.. they'll fly around but they don't attack.. they do like nesting in pipes too

We have little red hornets here that like doing that...I would have had to run :lol2:

I wanted to run but I couldn't leave my girl snubbed up in the chute. :lol:

this is the time of year for them to be "in" stuff. They like to nest in the electric gate handles that are open at one end.
