spent my summers cutting and then raking hay with my father, on one field while cutting i noticed this huge ground bumble bee nest. after the hay dried we came back to rake and bail, i had forgotten about the bees until i'm on the wind row before the bees and as i go around i calculate that if i make a double pass and then come back the nest will be covered up. so after congratulating myself on being so smart and comming back on my next pass i look up to see my father bearing down on this huge pile of hay covered with a swarm of bumble bees, he just looks at me (you know the look) pulls the governor wide open and kind of huddles up in the seat. The tractor was covered with bees fighting everything that moves on the tractor as the tractor lugs down and barely chugs thru, the round baler managed to choke down the lot without stalling the tractor, he never got stung, but it was close. You can imagen the conversation after.
