Wednesday, I was stacking 4x4x5 hay bales in a barn on Tuesday. I put the bottom bales on plastic pallets to help with air circulation. The pallets were stacked against the wall since last fall. I grabbed a pallet and my hand felt like I stuck it in an electrical outlet. In 1 second, I was stung by a hornets nest they built in the pallets during the summer.
Last week we were cleaning up a big hickory tree that fell into some privet in the front yard of a house. While sawing, I felt the pain of being stung on the legs. Thankfully, I was able to yank the saw out of the tree and run away. It was early AM, so they were not as active.
I hate the damn things.
