My sister several years ago was out mowing the grass. She had a pair of shorts, tank top and tennis shoes and socks, bra and underwear on. She stepped on a nest in the ground. I heard her scream and I thought she had cut off her foot. She came running into the house with one shoe off, screaming, yelling 'bees'. I told her STRIP. Inside her clothes were about 25 wasps. I called the squad because she had Primary Pulmonary Hypertension. (She needed a heart lung transplant). They came, saw her meds, looked at her body and said she should go to the hospital. All told, she had over 140 stingers in her skin. Be very careful with that many stings. It can set your heart a flutter. And not in a good way. It's best to be seen by a doctor. I pray that they leave your yard. They left ours, but it was a while before we'd go out to turn off the mower. PS, after stepping on the hive in the ground, the reason the bees where attacking her was because the scent of the hive on her clothing and shoes. I killed 25 live one's as her clothes came off. My DH was in the room and he just said hurry and began swatting. She has since passed, but there is something that you can put in the hive. Contact your county extension agent.

Wow, hope hubby is feeling better! Scary and bizzare.

Reminds me of a story about my brothers. We have always had bee hives at the farm; they bring them in the spring and remove them in the fall. They are always around the house, barn, anywhere they can get water, and find flowers. They never have caused any problems.

Well, a couple of years ago, the bee hives had been removed about the week before. Evidently some of the bees were not in the hives when they removed the hives, and got violent. They attacked both of my brothers who were out in the shop at the time. Both ran to the house for cover, and of course, got several bee stings. My youngest brother found out that day he is allergic to bees.They swelled up immediately and his throat started closing up on him. He rushed to the hospital where they were waiting with the anti-venom.

Scarry!

About 15 yrs ago or so, I was getting ready for work, and kept hearing this buzzing. Thought the water softner needed resetting (we had several powef outage issues), and didn't think anymore about it.

Each morning I kept hearing this buzzing, and it started getting louder. My husband, whose hearing is not the best, started hearing it too; then, went searching.

Somehow, yellow jackets had gotten under the siding of the house, and were making nests between the mainfloor ceiling and upstairs floor. We got an exterminator out there pronto to get rid of them. Since then we have built a new house and destroyed the old.

I feel bad for your husband and dog!!! I was out cutting wood after my husband had died. (I was alone.) I went to work on an old log pile, and apparently disturbed a nest of some kind of bee in the pile. I did not know that they built nest in the ground either, at that time. I didn't stop to think about it, but ran into the house immediately and slammed the door. I managed to get away with only 3 stings, but they were following me. Thank God I wasn't allergic, as the house was a ways away from town. I know you will take good care of your husband and dog. I hate bees!!!

I can say I'm pertrified of bees. I don't like anything that flies. But bees or the kind in particular. I moved to the country about 16 years ago and since have a great respect for honey bees. Without them pollenatng our crops we would NOT have food. I respect them, but I still have no use for yellow jackets, wasps, mud dwellers and bumble bees. Since living in the country my knowledge of different flying insects has increased. There is a different in all of the above. We need bees. Honey bees. The rest of them I'd like to get rid of.
