re: Bee careful out there y’all

My neighbor was weedeating 2 weeks ago and disturbed a ground nest with yellow jackets (hornets ?). He was stung 53 times and had to be transported to the hospital by ambulance. Spent 9 hours in the ER and doctor advised he was very close to dying. Only thing that saved him was taking 2 Benadryl before the ambulance arrived. His throat was swelling and he was having difficulties breathing. Next morning he called an exterminator to kill the nest.
