A big SCAG mower won't outrun angry bees!

Mowing the property yesterday I had an encounter with angry bees. By the time I got away from them I was stung 15 times or so. Left hand is the worst area .. my right arm was second. Got a few hits on the head.

I tried to appeal to their kind nature and love of fellowman but to no avail.

I once set a near Olympic record for the 440 yard dash. Bucking bales in an 80 acre field and picked up a square bale blocking a very angry bumble bee nest. Having been nailed by Yellow jackets and Red Wasps a few times, I can relate.

where it's easier to stand and fight... unless it's bees or other such killer mobs. It's amazing how much motivation to mobilize in an exit strategy we can find!

OH YES!!

In this neck of the woods it's normally yellowjackets or hornets for multiple stings.
