re: Ground hornets suck

Worked at a hunting farm here in SELA through high school summers and college breaks. My dad and I were clearing land on dozers and I hit a nest. D8 cat with expansion metal windows because the glass had already been knocked out from clearing. Reversed as fast as it could go and jumped off while it was moving. Ran about 1/2 mile and got in my dads truck, stripped, and they were still stinging me. I think we counted 38 visible stings. Was laid up for two days in pain. Old cajun guys that lived and farmed cane there called them Bourdons. They were tiny black ground bees or hornets that would go apeshite on a tractor. I Hit them once with a cabbed tractor bushogging and they actually seemed to try and break through the glass to get me.
Those old men swore if you try to jump in a canal they will hover and sting you when you popped up, until you didn’t pop up… frick them little worthless black arseholes.
ETA: We went back a few days later, poured diesel and gas down the hole we saw them coming in and out of, then threw a torch and killed them with fire!!

That sounds very similar to what happened to me today. They just keep coming and it’s kind of a helpless feeling being on something that will only do 2-3 mph . They stayed on me from the woods to the house and stung me the whole time. Probably 150-200 yards of me getting out of dodge.
