Geese stung by bees

[Miss Lydia]

Thanks,
my main worry is yellow jackets they nest in the ground here and they are out to kill when you get close to their nest.

Honey bees actually have a lot more poison to react to in their stings than yellow jackets. (eventhough they can sting multiple times), so that's one good thing. That being said, we heat with wood and yellow jackets like to get in and nest in our wood pile stores. It is horrible to try to get rid of them! Not an easy thing because as you said they are super aggressive when you come anywhere close. I wish you luck with that and hopefully your feather babies will stay away from the nests.

Oh yes we have dealt with them in the wood pile too. Boy that is hard to work with to get rid of them.

One year our Runners got into a nest of Yellow jackets but I got them away fast only one got stung. I have walked by their nest too many times boy those things are awful.

Agreed.
