Great thing about yellow jackets is they can sting and keep stinging. They don't die when they nail you like a honey bee or other bees do. A wasp can just keep a going .. yellow jackets love bails of hay around farms and make ground nests also .. my farmer friends love em, especially when they are collecting the hay for the barn and a swarm comes back on them when driving the tractor ... a real thing of beauty ... I saw my buddie Garry with lumps all over his face and neck.

I been nailed by those guys so many times that I dust it off ... good thing I don't react to any such bite other than the cursing and the ouch ouch ...

now my brother, it is straight to the ER room he is so allergic
