Will bite on the hands too. An entire hive of moving honey bees rammed us once while baling hay. Only got one sting but thousands were bumping into us. Stay well.

Thank you George. Great as always. Have you ever run over a bees nest with the mower? It really pisses them off. twodogsbarking May 30 #8

Laurie's the mower. I asked, she said no. I'll bet it upsets 'em! You ever run one over? George McGovern May 30 #16
