Stupid bee
« on: September 26, 2017, 05:47:27 PM »

I've been riding a motorcycle many years and this is the first time I've ever been stung.  It being a hot day, I didn't have my biker gloves on so there was a direct shot up my sleeve.  I felt it enter up my sleeve and I didn't want it to go any further so I crushed it with my left hand through the leather and I knew it would sting me.  It did.  It got me just below my right elbow.  Dang that hurt!  Oh well, it could have been worse.  Roger

I let my tractor sit for a few weeks this summer, and some yellow jackets built a nest under one of my wheel wells.  I stirred 'em by accident while starting up the tractor, but I quickly fled the scene once I saw what was happening.   A few minutes later I was driving my Gator up the driveway hill in my adjacent to where I park the tractor & I got smacked in the neck by something & got stung.  Guess they were more riled up than I realized!
