Doing a mowing job today. A good clean field no rocks. I was thinking this is sure going good. No sooner had I thought that, a yellow jacket got in under my hat and stung me on the head. I get wapped on the head all the time, but nothing compaired to that bee. Then a little while later the tractor just stopped. I hate when that happens to a diesel. All it was the battery cable came off, and lost power to the fuel valve, and it shut the fuel off. Other than that everything went fine. Stan
 
hate getting stung on the head,skin up there is fairly tight already,not much room for expansion when the sting area starts swelling. Bill
 
I know what you mean. I had A little mowing to do, about 3 hour job. I was almost finish, I backed in to some brush and an old rotten stump.
Then I see bees going all around me. As quick as I could I got away fighting them. They were after me. I almost tour up my hat. Yes, three
stung me. It was yellow jackets. I loaded my tractor on my trailer and went home. The next 24 hours it hurt. Okay now.

A coworker was telling me that a friend of his dad was brushogging with an older gas tractor when he stirred up a yellow jacket nest. When the bees started stinging him, he took off in a higher gear through some brush to get away from them. Some limbs knock a spark plug wire loose, so when he was far enough away, he got off to put the wire back on while tractor was still running and got shocked. He let go of the wire and it fell on top of his other hand where he was stung. He claims that the sthings that got shocked started going down, so he shocked more stings and claimed the swelling went down as well as the pain. I planned to test this story if I ever get stung but have not have not been stung in a while. Hope I am not brushogging when it happens because my tractor is diesel.
