Wild Ride

Yesterday we had a wild ride.  We had not moved the three wheeler for at least a week.  I wanted to go down to my baby brother’s lake place…Far Guy went along…as he unhitched the trailer from the three wheeler he noticed a few bees.  He said “I wonder where the bees are coming from maybe under the trailer?”  I hopped on and we moseyed down the road…I was driving slow all of a sudden Far Guy  said “Bees!”  I slowed down a bit more…he said “Punch it” well we out ran them…got to my brothers without getting stung or crashing into a tree.  Far Guy dislodged the Yellowjacket nest from under the fender and took care of it.  The ride back home was much calmer.

Good thing too as I am allergic to most bee stings…we have Epi Pens in the house and in my backpack.  Those yellowjackets can sting you more than once and the stings are quite painful.IMG_0786

The yellow flowers are beginning to open. I like yellow flowers better than yellowjackets.

    Glad you are okay. That could have been awful. I've been attacked by Yellowjackets before. They got in my clothes and I had to roll around on the ground trying to kill them. But at least I'm not allergic.

    That was scary. I've seen the European wasps building nests in our 4 wheeler next to the battery. They built a nest inside the Jeep door next to the hinge. Now I carefully check for bees. Last year they built a nest inside a hollow metal gate I used to get mules in and out of a pasture. Imagine my freak out when I had two mules in hand and a load of angry bees came out!
    Glad you guys are okay. Phew....

    That's scary, I have to carry an EPI pen too. We use to have a live and let live relationship with wasps, but not any more. Any that hang round the house get swatted.

    Lucky for you that FG sped away from the bees. I know you like yellow flowers more than anything! :-)

    I'm glad you didn't crash or get stung. Neither option would have been very nice.

    I'm so glad you made it safe! I am allergic to bee/wasp stings myself. They are daunting when they decide to attack!

    I am also allergic to stings. Two years ago a yellow jacket got into the sleeve of my jacket and stung me 3 times. I ended up in a rescue squad going to the hospital because I quit breathing. Now I’m terrified of any bee. I’m SO glad you’re okay. Yay to Far Guy!
    Blessings,
    Betsy

    Sounds a bit like a nightmare for anyone, let alone someone allergic to bee stings. I'm glad this story had a happy ending.
