Trick for Yellowjackets

I been stung a bunch when I was little playing around old stumps and crap my dad had laying around. No interesting stories like y'all tho. My neighbor was highly allergic and would run and cry like a little girl when we saw bees riding four wheelers.

hope ya got time...it's a long story:
between my yard and neighbor's,a hog wire fence loaded with honeysuckle.A 6 room aluminum bird condo on a 12 foot tall 1.5inch pipe attached to said fence.neighbor's garden beside fence and bird nest.Picture it in your head.That is your setup.
I was cutting grass late one afternoon and brushed up against the fence.Don't know what stung me but they knocked me for a loop.Jumped off the lawnmower and it hit the pecan tree,dug the dirt down till it sat on the frame.Stung 4 times on my arm and 8 times on my head.DO NOT take your hat off and swat at them.
Very aggresive critter these were.They were fuzzy and the size of bumble bees.Not hornets tho.Some sort of bee.Could not walk into the back yard from the carport without them swarmin you.
After 2 weeks,I got tired of not being able to cut my grass in the back.
I GOT A PLAN!!!!
I waited till the edge of dark and snuck under a peacan limb. A gas can,a empty pint can,long oak pole,oily rag,kitchen matches.These bastards had to go! I filled my little can with gas,ran towards the birds nest and chunked the gas up at the front.First two cans missed the mark and fell in Frank's garden. Third and fourth cans got in there good.Right where I wantede it.Got the oily rag tied onto the stick,lite it up and ran up to the birds nest with it flammin.I was timid sticking the flame to the gas and it took forever it seems to do it's thing.All of a sudden,the birds nest goes WOOOSH!!!! and explodes in flames.Franks garden mean while goes woosh!!!too and explodes in a litteral infernal of burning squash,beans,and ocra. I stood there for 15 minutes and watched the glow of burning hive and felt good about myself.
 
act 2:
For some reason after I burned the hive out,I didn't go back in the backyard for a week. When i did...The damn bees were back and feverishly rebuilding the hive. My testicles finally droped and grabed the situation by the booboo.This ws mid afternoon on a sunny hot day so the hive was extremely active.I had to be smooth yet quick with what I needed to do.The nest had to come down.No other way to do it but that.I snuck up to the pole and checked out how it was attached to the fence.A marine sniper had nothing on my sneakin up on that.I found it to be wired to the fence and nothing else.GOOD!!! I went back and grabed the wire cutters,a clevis,and 50 foot of rope.I tied the rope around the clevis and eased up to the pole and attched it.Then I sniped the wires.The hunnysuckle held the pole up so it never moved.Bees were paying me no mind. I got worked around to the end of the rope and with a big smile on my face...snatched the bitch down.The clevis slid up the pole to the nest as the pole fell and thought I could just drag it into the woods to forget it.Hell no! The huneysuckle tangled around the pole and the top section fell across my clothes line.So as I snatched at the rope,the bird's nest/hive was bouncing up and down,bees flying everywhere,my sweetin getting stung again.All of a sudden,the front of the nest opened up and dumped the new hive/baby bees in a pile on the ground. The adult bees flying around went straight to the pile and got occupied with them.I sprinted back to my shop,grabed the can-o-gas,small can, kitchen matches. I belly crawled under the pecan limb again,and flipped 4 lit kitchen matches towards the bees and then broadcast the little can full of gas through the air.It flashed off and cooked what was left of the flying bees and the pile of baby bees. I cheered and hollered...thumped my chest...


and then got stung on the forehead by the last remaining bee.

Best bee story ever!!
 
I was stung by some small black bees I've never seen before or since and still don't know what they were. They attacked me in a thick floodplain forest on Buffaloe creek above Drugstore rd. and 50 in Jco. on a hot sunny day while surveying. The first stung the back of my hand holding a machette, I slapped it off and another 2 hit the same hand so I slung the machette somewhere far from me and ran in the other direction. I ran quickly tearing through the brush, vines and reeds and was stung 3 or 5 more times on my back the first 10 yrds, I stopped ( tripped hard and flopped on the ground ) about 30 yrds more and looked back, and here they come :eek: I jumped up and ran again diving through holes in the thickets and under several laydowns blocking my path and stopped about 60 more yrds. in an opening and looked back feeling safe the bees could'nt still be following me through such thick stuff I just went through , then I saw them coming down my trail again right after me and figured I need to run all the way to the truck to escape and I took off again. The woods opened up and I outran 1 deer and 2 rabbits I was moving so fast now. But soon more larger live fallen trees from a recent hurricane slowed my straight line progress and they caught up and stung me some more and I ran some more. I finally figured I was'nt gonna make it to safety, the truck was still 400 yrds away, so I dove on the ground ( tripped again ) in another small opening, rolled on my back and went Chuck Norris on the houndbees as they landed on me and I smashed/slapped them until they were dead, getting stung 8 or 10 more times, about 20-30 bees. Those bees kicked my ass o_O:handed: the stings hurt worse than Yellowjackets w more swelling and I was scratched up good from the brush and briars and stung all over. One stung me directly in the top-center of my head and w nowhere for the swelling to go the whole top of my big head hurt very bad for hours and I could'nt wear a hat for 3 days. I lost an expensive pair of Costa sunglasses in the mad dash also, I looked for them for for 3 hrs a few days later......... I wonder if they were africanized bees, I've never had any other bees, wasps, yellowjackets etc. chase and track me like a hound dog so far. They obviously put an attack scent on me to track me more than 150 yrds through a jungle.

I had one get me last year. Mind you I'm not allergic to bees. Went completely numb about 8 hours after the sting and in 12 hours it was swollen, 3 days later I went to the er After a couple hours at the er they determined I needed steroids and a long list of other stuff, after a week I could move my fingers again, and after two weeks I could close my hand. Doctors never did explain it but I've been stung since with no reaction.

I got ate up one time mowing grass as a kid. I got so mad I poured gas in the hole in between entries and exits. That wasn't enough for me so I threw a match on the hole and it subsequently exploded throwing dirt in my eyes. Sounded like a shotgun going off but i was very satisfied.:D

I've been stung a hundred times before, and at least 50 times since, but one time I had a yellow jacket come out of nowhere and sting me in the ear. I slapped it and killed it, but didn't realize most of its back half was still attached to the stinger that was still stuck in my ear until a minute or five later. In that time I kept rubbing and scratching it. Then about 30 minutes later, the entire left side of my face swelled up, my ear was sticking straight out of my head, and my entire torso was covered in hives. I was going to ignore it, but a couple minutes later my throat started swelling up, so I threw in the towel and went to urgent care. Never happened before, and hasn't happened since. They said it was likely because of the proximity to the whole ear/nose/throat thing.
 
I've read enough stings around your head/neck can cause your brain to swell and can kill you allergies or not. The large Eropean Hornet that stung my palm got me bad. I instantly/instinctly slaped at it several times when I felt and saw it in my hand, but did'nt knock it off. I had to scrape it off my hand w my fingernails as it had its hooked legs stuck into my skin and was firmly attached. I slung it on the ground shook my hand out as the pain became more intense by the second. I looked at my palm again and the large stinger w the venom pumping apperatus had ripped out of it's body and was still stuck in there and I could see it pumping like a tiny heart! I carfully scraped it out and in 5 mins. my hand looked like a clowns glove and I could'nt begin to make a fist, my fingers were so swollen the skin on the back of my hand/fingers was shiny. It could not of hurt worse if I was shot through the hand w a pistol. My throat, head and chest got tight in 10 mins and we headed for the ER. I ate 4 or 5 bynidryls and started feeling better on the way and we just went back to the office and I drove home to suffer. After 3 days of bad pain it began to itch like crazy and deep and my skin turned black and died about the size of a nickel and 1/4' deep. It took 6 months or more to heal fully. I said afterward and will again, I would rather dance naked on a Yellowjacket nest than get stung by another BIG YELLOW HORNET once!!
 
Sounds like Acts 1 & 2 are about ground bees. They suck! Reminds me of a story Jon Reep told about mowing grass....his dad said "Bees live in trees, Jon!"
