Wow Brenda what a story. Next time I'm going to remember to put my helmet on good idea.

I had similar experience one summer with yellow jackets. I mowed over a nest in the pastures unknowingly. Next thing I knew I had several stinging YJ crawling all over me and stinging over and over. Tried to out run them on my tractor. as they were chasing me from the front pasture to the house. Had several stings too many to count. Since then I became allergic to them . And now reading your DH story you'd probably be seeing me in the future wearing my ATV helmet decked out with a thick leather jacket and long pants mowing the pastures in my tractor. No more farmer tans for me…
