I had friends with 2 year old twins move into a new home up here in NW Canada, and the twins discovered a ground nest. It was brutal!<br />I was quite surprised about your Scotch pines dying. We're experiencing major pine tree dieback up here from Mountain Pine Beetle ... hundreds and hundreds of acres of russet-red dead trees.

My daughter was walking across the back deck while the dog (a boxer) was walking down the deck stairs. Poor Chief start yelping and ran down the stairs right into the picnic table. I was standing in the yard and looked up at Michelle. She started screaming as a swarm of bees started to attack her. She began ripping off her clothes and running into the house. We grabbed the grandkids (one seriously allergic to bee stings) and ran the other way. Poor Michelle was stung more than 10 times and ended up at the emergency care center. The dog was stung multiple times too. Those bees are deadly!!!!!Stuck on Sunflowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00481326889232296335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160371074353452445.post-5932846249188069902009-09-20T14:28:39.048-07:002009-09-20T14:28:39.048-07:00by the way thanks for your words of caution... i f...by the way thanks for your words of caution... i feel just horrible for your husband and family.. i cannot imagine getting stung multiple times.. i got stung by one early this summer and was such a baby I cried alot that day and off and on for a day or two later....OUCH!! take care - all of youFineLine Antiqueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08280343023089002177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160371074353452445.post-87701393083021243472009-09-20T14:25:27.126-07:002009-09-20T14:25:27.126-07:00Hey there..

He ran over their hole in the ground with the mower and got them stirred up. We tried drowning them out, spraying them, but so far they haven't moved on.<br /><br />Hope all of you are OK and I'm glad that it wasn't any worse!Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18369077646106761670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160371074353452445.post-25307692285261245762009-09-20T12:11:32.739-07:002009-09-20T12:11:32.739-07:00Oh no!

We treated the area with Raid. I was barefoot and didn't see one on the porch floor. They can still sting and my toe hurt for three days! A thick paste of baking soda and water will help intense pain right after a sting. Have EpiPens on hand if you have a known allergic reaction to bee stings.

The wasp spray won't work completely, but it may eliminate some while you are running. <br /><br />You were very lucky (blessed).<br /><br />LauraLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11497969475360535424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160371074353452445.post-80977746288279304082009-09-20T06:34:39.723-07:002009-09-20T06:34:39.723-07:00OH MY GOSH!
