I thought wasps bit?

I once got stung in the white of the eye by a bee. The pain was excruciating. Having broken bones before, I would have preferred that.
The worst part though, was the stinger was lodged in my eye, and an optometrist had to drag a dry cotton swab over my eyeball to get the stinger out.

To this day I cannot put in contacts or stand things even remotely close to my eyes.

I spent a lot of time as a young child running around over grown fields in NE Wisconsin in bare feet (a hippy even then) durring the summer. I was always either stepping on mud wasps, sitting on lazy honey bees or being bitten by ants. I\'ve built up quite a tollerance to bee venom by now. Best remedy? A paste of milk and baking soda applied and left to dry. Try it next time. But if you sit one one you ahve to lay on your tummy with your bare ass in the air untill it dries, getting harrassed by your brothers. It\'s the right thing to do.

Have to agree, they are horrible. Had a big party this past weekend so the family could meet the new edition. An hour before the party I spot not 1, but 6 nests about my backyard.

Worst part was even after getting rid of those the yard was still filled with them (I swear they were out and about and trying to get home, but when they got there home was gone, so they hung around).

Unfortunatley we had 2 stinging incidents. Wish I had known your Remedey then Lizcam, at the time all I really had in the house was Absorbine Jr, which didn\'t do much for the 8 year olds crying.

Just to clarify...

Wasps sting.
Mosquitoes suck.
Spiders suck.
Locusts eat stuff.
Umm....

I think I\'m out of bug knowledge.

When I was about 12, We had a big nest under the porch. Ever held a volleyball? That\'s about the size of the nest. ( I sure paint a picture, don\'t I? )

Anyway, Some kids decided that it would be really safe to throw rocks at it...It wasn\'t safe. We actually got it down without them coming out, hitting it with rocks and sticks from about 20 meters. It had enough holes and enough dust was kicked up they were scared. Their nest was in shambles.

As we were closing in with the Raid, (I\'m not sure if they have it in Europe, but Raid is like \'instant death in a can\' when sprayed on bugs.) Some other kid thought it would be good to hit it with one last rock, which he threw, hitting a wooden pole the remains of the nest was leaning against. Did you know that vibrations really make stinging insects go berserk? I do now. Anyway, who do they go after? Me, of course.

I swear, I could\'ve outrun a car at that point. lol

Also, I was picking up a dead one once, for one of those bug-on-a-pin collections, and I got the stinger under the thumbnail,
That hurt terribly.

Just last week I was eating some fried chicken, and out of nowhere one came and landed on my hand. Needless to say, nothing in history has been MORE dead. :D

They attack for no reason at all sometimes. I remember when I was at a friends house, we were eating burgers outside and I saw a wasp land on his leg and sting him. Nobody had made any aggressive move or done anything to the wasp. The first anyone noticed it was it landing on his leg. I seem to remember when I was a kid and I got stung in the neck, that my mum put butter on the area, which helped.

Yeah wasps are aggressive little bastards, especially in late summer.
If you watch a wasp closely enough, you\'ll actually see it try and sting anything it lands on :eek:

Never been stung by either Wasp, Bee or Hornet.
Treat them with respect and there\'s never a problem.

Erm, i think you\'ve just been exceedingly lucky.
Wasps and their ilk don\'t understand respect nor do they need any particular reason to attack you. They just do.

Unless what you mean by \"Treating them with respect\" Equates to running away screaming like a girl lol

yeah they are evil little buggers. don\'t mind bee\'s - they die if they sting you so it\'s very rare that they will - usually a last ditch attempt to save the hive. you can actually stroke bumblebees. wasps, however, don\'t care and should be killed immediately!

Well, that\'s the thing, nobody disrespected the wasp that stung my friend, we didn\'t even notice it until I saw it land on his leg. I was about to tell him when I saw the wasp stick it\'s sting in it\'s leg. And the one that stung me, I didn\'t see that one until after it had stung me. They\'re evil, evil, I tells ya.

Me and my mates have an on going war with Hornets, they are evil big nasty and evil. The home made way to kill them is a two man team dressed in motorbiking leathers with helmets, gloves etc armed with a can of deoderant and lighters and the other with sutable hornet smashing implament (magazine etc etc). The method stun with flames and smash and stamp the buggers till all is left is goo!!! The war started when we were having a party and they invaded, luckly some of us wernt too :drunk: or it could of been nasty (they can kill if you get stung by too many) we counted upward of 150 of the buggers after the battle had finished with only one person being stung. Since then theres only been mild skirmish action but we know their building their force\'s again!

What you need are some Japanese honey bees. Isolate a hornet, get the bees to smother it and the hornet will cook in its own juices.
