This happened to me when I was seven, except I almost died. Now I’m terrified of those little fuckers.
| Yellow jackets are some the most stupid in the wasp family. I've destroyed a couple of their nests getting stung once or not at all. However if you don't spot them and they land on you, you'll get stung. Even a lone one flying by will occasionally attack with no provocation. Being wasps they can sting repeatedly without dying. My first bee sting happen as yours did when I was 6 yo. These are trash insects that contribute very little if any useful function. I hate them. Posted by 2Xplorations Ive been chased out of two locations by Africanized bees, Very very aggressive bees. Fortunately I only got half a dozen stings and they don't hurt me that much got a couple in the scalp. Just scrape the stiner off with a knife or a credit card, couple drops of ammonia or Stingezetm good to go.
Several people have died from killer bee swarms but they seem to have been abated due to inter-breeding with native honey bees that have taken some of the African traits out of them.
| Best thing to do is run! Swatting at even half a dozen of them with a wet towel is ineffective. I've done that. They are extremely aggressive. Much worse than wasps or any native bee. Getting too near a nectar or water source and especially their hive can trigger an attack. Any movement or even a loud noise near the hive can trigger them. They're edgy, mean tempered critters. Their alpha scouts and guard bees are even more aggressive. If near a hive you could have hundreds of individuals attacking you in under a minute. There max airspeed is like all bees, a mere 16 mph; you can out run them. And get out of their line of sight.
