Funny you mention that, I was stung 11 times total last week when I ran the grass trimmer over a nest in my one garden. I had to peel two off the back of my one ear while running away.

I have no yard, but that's a beautiful animal.

[gothbxtch]

it is!

[Fireguy17]

yellow jackets can sting you more than once.
They do not lose their stinger when they sting you.

[gothbxtch]

exactly, that’s the kind we have

[AviatorTom]

No ground bees, but we have lots of carpenter bees that live in wood. They're great pollinators.

[Dargil]

I have them. We have citrus trees. They help get us fruit.

[ProbablyClueless]

Yes! God those pissy little creatures are awful lol

[Wise4myage]

Yes, we get them every summer, they just do their thing and mind their own business, lol.

[SnowedIn]

Never had that but the idea petrifies me.

[gothbxtch]

they are pretty scary!

[SnowedIn]

Any bee or wasp or hornet is scary. I've fought fires and flooding on a ship at sea and sailed through storms. Not scary. Bees? Scary.

[panda2712]

Never knew about them that’s scary 😟!!! lol

[exitseven]

yes, I remember getting stung on my foot.

[riverrat3]
