I put up a post last week after I got tagged a dozen times due to trampling a nest in the woods.

Wasn't all that bad really. Hurt a little but mostly just itched more than anything for a few days.

Agreed with the be careful thing!!!

Yeah bees, wasps, and spiders very active this time of year. I just dumped load of Sevin down a yellow jacket ground hive.

Just had this problem myself. Was out cutting at the log pile and noticed a bunch of bees. Finally located their nest attached to the bottom of one of the logs. Sprayed it and knocked it down without getting stung. Very next day out cutting again, cut through a log, chunk falls to the ground and bust open. Bees come out everywhere all pissed off....apparently there was a nest in the hollow core of this log. Some how I escaped without getting stung again!
