I just got stung 5 times because I moved the lawn mower over a nest of yellowjackets!! ! It was hidden in a hole in a wooden plank around our garden. That hurt!! !

(But on the other hand thats just about the most exciting thing thats happened all month )

Congratulations!

Hehe, smart-ass!

StINg! Ouuuucchh! and Zap!

I hope your summer does go better?
How boring could it have been?

erm... why were you mowing a wooden plank?

I hope you feel better, Snocone.

Thats really bad luck. Who would of thought that wasps would use yellow jackets as a nest?

I hope you got 'em back with a can of Raid. That'll teach them.

I hope you busted a good many caps on those Yellow Jackets. Next time they step in your turf, they'll know you aren't playing!

I was wondering the same thing, But maybe the mower was off, and he was just...

damn. I just broke your joke, didn't I? sorry

I had to move it over the garden to get to the backyard.

That sucks. I've never been stung by a bee/yellowjacket/wasp. *knocks on wood*

I think this is the first time its happened to me... I've been told that the second stingng is the one to watch out for cos thats when severe allergic reactions can first occur

I've been stung by a bee three times. The first is the worst. Bees are a very minor problem compared to black widow spiders and rattlesnakes, which luckly, I have never been bit by. I almost got bit by a black widow a week ago. Those things are everywhere here.

What are Yellowjackets? Are they the same thing as those verminous creatures called Wasps?

For what it is worth, I think Wasps are vermin. I hate them. What purpose do they serve?

I believe they're considered a separate species. If I had to guess Id think they're closer to the wasp family than the bee family



The site I read says that they do help balance the ecosystem by killin certain types more pesky insects. As if I really cared right now.
