Yep, found out the hard way. My right hand is so swollen it's hard to pull the brake lever. Luckily I'm not one of the people that is allergic. The nurse told me to be a lot more cautious in the future, since I escaped with just one or two stings and show a medium reaction.
If you are working and you notice a bee go into the ground, end your curiosity right there. Do not poke your loppers in the hole to mess him up! I was stung and dove out of the way of a volcano of bees in a micro second. I ran through the front door and the bees followed. When I went back outside a few minutes later, the ****** bees were still attacking the rubber handled loppers! This was yesterday and my hand throbs and itches like I did it an hour ago. Ah, life is such an adventure!
It appears I'm safer on my bike.....
