Today Stump was out early and decided he wanted to go digging. Well, apparently there were bees that have decided that his burrow is a fantastic place for a nest. Southern Yellowjackets. This time of year they are real aggressive and apparently they didn't like me using a garden hoe to make sure there's nothing down in the hole. I'm grateful that I got stung half a dozen times and with Benadryl each site is only 2"x2" swollen up and that Stump did not go down in there.

Back to the story, he got stung in the face or neck and started swatting with his arms and RAN backward at full speed for about 12'.

I can't see a mark on him but boy oh boy I can see them on my arm!
