Their ability to hit moving targets are impressive.
There is a guy I follow on YouTube and tick tock called The Hornet King. He is always removing wasp nests from houses and yellow jackets from the ground. Those creatures are truly the spawn of Satan.

What are yall calling bumble bees? What I grew up calling bumble bees are the fat, slow, pollinators that never stung you even if you aggravated them.

I was surprised how little it hurts compared to a wasp.
I find that Wasp stings burn more than they hurt. It feels like someone puts a live cigarette out on the sting site.

I had four off them in my blanket one time. And your right. Hurt like hell. The only thing worse is a hornet. Had one flying around me while I was taking leaves as a kid. Son of a bitch flew off I guess too gain speed and nailed me in the chest. And mama being from the south just told me to rub some tobacco juice on it.
I never would tell her if I was sick. She gave me castor oil time.

Sat down on my grandpa’s pond dock as a kid to fish for bream and you guessed it, right on top of a yellow jacket nest underneath the wooden dock. Dropped the cane pole in the water and ran like hell, they were faster. Hate those bastards.
Saw the first one today, have read the early, solitary ones are Queens looking for a nesting spot. Couldn’t get the spray quick enough to kill it. We were invaded by them last year, I have our pest control guy spraying our yard and house once a month for a few months, hopefully nips it in the bud. He says every three months is sufficient, but I’m going nuclear this year.
Satan’s Spawn, kill them all.

Mowing the yard and running over an underground yellowjacket nest is one of life's most miserable events.
Almost a rite of passage.
After I got ambushed by a nest, I allowed them one final ambush on the neighbor's shithead dog before going to war with them over the next few days and finally emerging victorious.

Bumblebees are some seriously mean frickers if you get near their nest.
I once ripped open a nest while running a bulldozer. It did not end well.

I agree, although I will never underrate them.
Those sneaky frickers carry a pop.
They nest in completely inconspicuous places, including but not limited to ground nets, holes bored in any wood, delaminated fascia board and almost any outdoor siding.
Their ultimate demise is bubbly dish liquid and water.

Do they have yellowjackets in Alaska?
I got into bumblebees once bushhogging but they didn’t sting me,they were swarming and attacking the engine up front.
That didn’t work with yellowjackets,bastards stung me 7 or 8 times,Ithrew the tractor into neutral and jumped off running.Went back about an hour after dark.
What scares me about yellowjackets is when I get stung my chest gets tight and I get short of breath.I carried an epipen with me for several years but I don’t know where it is now.

That first one feels like a bullet hitting you. Then you do the Yellow Jacket Dance as you sprint away from the mower as fast as you can.

bumble bees?
The attacking bees they think are bumble are really carpenter bees. Carpenter look like bumble but are aggressive. Carpenter are all talk, no sting.
Bumbles can sting but they aren’t aggressive and will only sting in ultimate defense.
Bumble bees pollinate more heavily than honeybees.
There are 48/49 species of bumble bees in N. America and their populations are declining.
The less informed should please leave them alone. Bee boxes on Amazon invite parasites. Again, please leave them bee.

frick a yellowjacket! I got popped in my stomach by one recently. Felt like I'd been shot. The bastard was under my shirt and got me a couple more times before I could get him out. It hurt for several days. One also got me in an ear as a kid.

Had to cancel a Disney family trip when I was younger because my dad got attacked by a swarm. Those frickers damn near killed him. Him being fat didn’t help either

I got stung by a yellow jacket not long ago when I reached inside a mailbox. As soon as I grabbed the mail, one of those assholes got me, and it just happened to catch me on that flap of skin between the thumb and the index finger. Hurt like a mother fricker.
I didn't see a nest anywhere, but i still emptied a round of wasp spray into the mailbox. I'm sure the mail lady enjoyed that smell the next day

Found a nest with my mower last year and thankfully didn't get stung. Came up with the bright idea of getting the gas can and pouring a trail of gas along the grass to the opening of the nest in the ground. Lit a piece of paper and threw it on the trail, worked like a charm, with seconds the fire was down the hole and into the nest. I was immediately proud of myself.... Until the little demon spawns came flying out of the hole, on fire, whizzing around everywhere. The wife watched this entire endeavor safely from the confines of our kitchen window. She about peed herself laughing at my hauling arse across the yard away from them.
