Ground hornets suck

I was out clearing along our front pond this morning and must’ve disturbed a big nest. They were everywhere. I backed up, threw the dozer in neutral and bailed off. They were all over me all the way to the house. My wife counted 12 in my shirt. I know where they are and will get revenge very soon. End of rant

They sting like a MFer too. I had one sting me so deep and hard once, I couldn't get the stinger out and it got infected real bad. The scar looks like it's from a bullet hole.

glad you're OK baw.... my neighbor was weed-eatin' last spring and disturbed a ground hornet nest in his garden. Tried to drop and roll and was stung over 50 times. He went into anaphylaxis shock and had to be taken via ambulance to the hospital. Dr. said if his wife wasn't home he could have possibly died. Next day Orkin came out and sprayed pesticide in the nest to kill the GH's

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!!

Wasp Species Comparison- Yellow Jackets, Hornets, Cicada Killers
This will clear up a lot of confusion.
