There I was sat on the drive in the sun fitting the repaired reverb
when I thought what was that droning .
then all of a sudden a huge cloud of Bees or wasps flew 2 feet over my head and disappeared in the distance .

Still sort of shocked by the size and noise ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

You should try having them swarm whilst on the second pitch climbing at Tremadog - very scary - and I was belaying!

Well no, it is 'wasp' actually but a good try nonetheless.

I got stung by a bee yesterday.

Four quid for a jar of honey.

an old school friend of mine once tried to collapse a piece of earth hanging over a stream by jumping on it. the wasps nesting on the underside seemed to take exception to this.

I was once strimming my then-girlfriend's lawn (not a euphemism) when I felt some splashes of water on my face. Looked up to see if it was raining, to find a clear blue sky. Looked down to find I'd just strimmed a slug in half.

Yikes, swarms are quite scary, only encountered one once and fortunately had a vehicle to hide inside.

Something went down my t-shirt on the pleasant, sunny commute home a few weeks back. I hoped I could get it out before either of us came to harm but the ****er stung me and I had to squish it before it decided to have another go... since I was going downhill at 20mph or so at the time it was a little bit stressful.

I'm ashamed at myself for laughing at that. ๐Ÿ˜†

We host a a couple of hives at the bottom of the garden. Idly looked out of the window one day with a cup of tea to see the air thick with bees - one hive had had enough and swarmed. Never saw them again. Quite surreal, esp as the neighbours in the gardens either side were completely oblivious to it.....

I knew a man from Dundee
Who got stung on the leg by a wasp
When asked did it hurt,
he replied "not a lot"
"I'm so glad it wasn't a hornet"

When asked did it hurt,
he replied "not a lot and it can do it again if it likes"

Is the version I heard - Spike Milligan I believe, but I could well be wrong as I have looked before and it hasn't been conclusive.

So I punched him.

Have personally removed an embryonic wasp's nest from our loft while wearing full motorcycle leathers, gloves, boots + crash helmet with the visor down and a towel wrapped around my neck

The rest of the family were well impressed ๐Ÿ™‚
