Kiki's stomping into the summer like whoa... WEEKEND Party

[ShrekDawg]

Wasps are so scary!!! I’ve had a few chase me and I’ve also tripped and fallen and gotten injured running from both wasps and bees so now I just hate them all

I’m getting better though. I don’t run from them all anymore.

Like we have a plant in our garden that the bees LOVE and there’s always soooo many on it cause it’s huge and I’m not scared of them anymore. I can stand next to it and watch them. They’re kinda cool.

Still hate yellowjackets though

We had them under our deck last year and in a stump next to my garden the year before and they were so mean!! They would freak out for being near the deck and the year before I could barely even water my garden or pick the vegetables because they would come after me.

One time last year I think my mom was dragging brush out from the woods and they must have had a nest in there because a poop ton of them came flying after her!!!

They are MEAN SOBs!!!

Paper wasps and hornets are mean. My ex BIL accidentally ran right into a huge hornet nest as a child. He was stung multiple times and I believe he had to go to the ER over it. To this day even a fly buzzing his head sets him off.

Yes they are. I can't blame him! I'd be gun shy after that too.

Do not run from wasps. Anticipate where they are going to be, clap your hands and if your timing is right you will squash and kill the wasp. If there is brush handy, walk through the brush and the brush will prevent them from being right next to you. after a few feet they will give up. If one lands on your hair kill it immediately because if it gets tangled in your hair, it will keep diggin in deeper until it stings you.

Had one get trapped in my hair last weekend.

I twisted and shook and flopped and squawked. Probably looked like I was having a standing seizure.

Thank you! Very helpful! Though I think I’d be scared to kill it with my bare hands cause can’t they sting you? And maybe ours are more vicious than others or I’m imagining it or something because ours don’t give up for a while! They’ll keep coming

Sweat bees that live in the ground are cause for run as fast as you can to get away from them. A long time ago I lived where there were lots of sweat bees. When we disturbed a ground nest of them, they warm swarm after us immediately.

In my experience, wasps are tough enough that a simple slap, even a hard one, won't kill the nasty little basta -- I mean, twit.
Horrible little things... uuugh *shudder.*
I do like bumblebees, though -- they're cute and fluffy and mellow.

Maybe that’s what came after her! She said there were tons
