Avoiding the inevitable bees

[penokee]

Sounds familiar - today I ran over a ground nest of small black hornets - a sting you never forget, while bush hogging my old farm fields. Didn't get stung, kept the tractor moving. Went back to the truck and got a can of wasp/hornet killer. After a hour I drove by about 20' from the nest where they were swirling by the hundreds - gave them a good dose of concentrated spray. Drove by 3 times, spraying each time. Didn't want to push my luck, will check it again tomorrow. Have more weeds/brush to cut in that area, but may have to wait until the first freeze.
