Actually, there are quite a few wild bees species that live in the ground, and they are also honey-producing.

All bees are very important pollinators, in any case. The fact that somebody here hates them will not change this fact one iota.

Considering phenomena such as this - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollinator_decline - I think both the OP and his advocates are in the wrong.

they are on his property and he has a life threatening allergy. and they attacked him. are you seriously saying one beehive is more important that neds safety or are you just trolling?

 

[Newbian]

You need to understand, most people refer to all flying stinging insects as bees - while wasps and hornets are certainly not bees, they are often called bees by the general population.

I have never heard of that made up crap before.

Hornets / wasps are close enough to refer to them as simply hornets but I have never heard of people calling hornets as bees.

NuclearNed for elite! Or a custom title like "Your pal"

 

[Dirigible]

Don't forget to rape them first.

First rape and THEN kill? I've been doing it the other way around. :hmm:

Well, they don't put up much of a fight that way. Like sex with Kim K.

Really?

Hornets sometimes get mentioned specifically as hornets, but I more often here any various wasp referred to as "bee."

"Did you see that bee? Thing was as large as my thumb!"
In reference to a cicada killer, a wasp.

And most yellowjacket-type wasps are almost always referred to as bees. Only the people who are careful to be "correct" will reference them as wasps, most people don't care enough. They'll even KNOW it isn't technically a bee, but still refer to them as bees.

Of course, I might exaggerate by saying "most people" and "more often than not" - but in my experience, that has basically been true.

The way I see it you were attacked for one of 2 reasons, either the bees could smell the be venom you were injected with at the doctors and went into a frenzy, in which case you really weren't at fault.

or.....

The loud angry noise of the lawnmower you decided to push in the vicinity of their precious home and residence of "she who sacrificed all to give new life to the colony" with whirring blades and a deafening humming noise sent them into defence mode in which case you are a moran 😛.

 

[NuclearNed]

Based on "in a hole on the ground" note, I'm assuming some variety of wasp?

Most likely, the only benefit these bastards offer is the killing of another annoying and bothersome creatures.

But most of those other creatures aren't total assholes, like wasps.


Thus, they deserve the most gratifying and destructive end we can mete out.

Job well done, good sir! 😀


also, A++++++ would read again! as usual. :biggrin:

yellowjackets

 

[NuclearNed]

As usual a pleasure to read.

So, you are allergic to stings, got stung a whole bunch and didn't die?

That is quite amazing actually. I can't believe you didn't even go to the hospital or something...

I've been taking bee shots for about 4 years - 1 year to go. In theory, after 3 years I'm fixed and have only a miniscule chance of reacting.

Instead of going to the hospital, I have a doctor proscribed routine: 1) make sure someone know's I've been stung (so I called my mother-in-law), 2) take Benadryl, and 3) wait 20 minutes with epi-pen in hand to see if I'm going to react

If there were any signs of a reaction, I would have epi-penned myself and gone to the ER

 

[NuclearNed]

One, I wonder if allergies are different between wasps and honeybees and whatnot...

two... do you have an epi-pen or some other special emergency prescription/medicine?

It sounds like you took something, but you glossed over that.

see my response to Gothgar for details

Bad idea after the wife setting you up, imo.

...and they were in an area very close to my house, an area that my family and I use a lot. Plus they were yellowjackets.

a moran for mowing my lawn? really?

 

[Puppies04]

I got the impression you were already aware the bee nest was there from your (lovely) first post. If not I retract the moran jibe 😀.

no problem, but I had no idea they were there

If the wife was involved you may want to look at your epi-pen for signs of tampering or if its been replaced by a pen or twizzler

 

[Puppies04]

Then you sir are not a moran (although explaining that to your neighbours who saw you running across your lawn, naked, windmilling and screaming like a girl might be a little fruitless) 😀

Christ give it a rest.

we ALL learned that in the 1st grade.

For future reference...a gallon of gasoline dumped into the hole does a pretty good job...just don't throw a match into the hole afterwards...the crater can be pretty hard to camouflage later.

(don't ask how I know...and DO NOT do this in a national forest!) 😳

A 60's hippy story form Boomer is in order.

fuck yellowjackets!!! god i hate them. i get stung at leaset onece a year by those little fuckers. Ortho wasp spray is awesome stuff, just wish they made cans that did a fog for close quarters combat, the cans with the 20' stream is great for artillery support.

indeed they suck. And now for the rest of the story...

This story happened on a Friday afternoon. After it happened, I hurt so badly that I quit mowing and went in for the night. The next morning I got up and started mowing again. The original nest was dead from where I had gassed them, but not 50' away I mowed over another nest... thankfully, I got only a single sting.
