??? Calf got itself trapped in a hollow log. Rancher cut an opening to let it out. I had to cut down part of a tree after a calf got it's head stuck in the fork. Calves are curious and get themselves in some sticky situations.
To answer the “lawn mower “ question, I watched my young son and the neighbors boy steal my lawn mower. They took it out to the hill, started it up and pushed it over a yellow jacket nest. I called the wife over and pointed out the growing cloud forming behind them. Once it got large enough, the surviving bees attacked. I held the door open for them so they could run inside and removed and killed the bees that followed that far. My wife was furious that I didn’t intervene sooner. I said that’s just a rite of passage for all boys. Don’t believe me? Give it a try! And be sure to post the video here!
They always have a back door hole 🤣 to get out. Block the primary with a rock or a cinder block. Pour diesel fuel or kerosene in it, never gas it burns too fast..wait a couple of seconds for it to soak the nest and light
Had a "friend" when I was about six. He called me over, said "watch this" and used a stick to poke the hole. I ran, got stung about six or eight times. He didn't run at all.
Won't comment further except to say we didn't hang out much after that.
These days, I'm a beekeeper, and not running (and moving slowly, NO flailing the arms/hands around!) is, indeed, key. Also, the gasoline/diesel thing works, and it doesn't matter if you light it up or not - the fumes are deadly enough as is anyway. But it's certainly more fun that way, so carry on!
#4: A pan with that kind of handle will never be found in my kitchen, for this exact reason. It's only a matter of time. #5: This makes me think of my grandmother, who would have bitched this one out loudly for wearing that stupid hat and sunglasses while eating inside a restaurant. My mom used to find it embarrassing, I found it hilarious.
Yeah, point that big rubber band right at your face. Not really sure that resist. band is resisting enough to do any good-ankle wts. would have more effect. CC
I did the mower trick once with yellow jackets. Left the mower over the hole and returned with gasoline. Never got stung but I let the fumes get em. No fire.

ReplyDelete3) She found the yellow jacket nest. Don't ask me how I know.
ReplyDeleteI ran over a yellow jacket nest with a lawnmower awhile back, they didn't appreciate that at all.
DeleteI was on crutches & couldn't run when I found one once
Delete- WDS
Yep, been there done that. More than once.
DeleteJpaul
Yeah, I did that once too. Underground hive, I had a hell of a time getting rid of it.
DeleteIf you leave the blade running over the nest exit, how many yellow jackets would survive to sting you?
DeleteMost that were in the hive.

She stood her ground and fought for a spell. I'll give her that. I say tough chick.

DeleteMy wife acts like that every now and then sitting on the couch. I just run outside.
DeleteIn PA we called those sumbitches, "Ground Bees" and they are nasty MoFo's
