My dad plowed right through a huge bumble bee's nest years ago. My brother and me were walking the furrows picking up worms to go fishing after supper that night. When the swarm attacked us, I ran across the un-plowed section, but my brother tried stumbling across the plowed part and soon fell. The bees soon gave up on me and concentrated on him as he lay on the ground. I ran diagonally across the field to the fence-row, then turned and ran to the headland, then turned again and ran towards my dad, who didnt know anything at all about the maelstrom that was going on behind him. We ran back to my bee-covered brother and with our jackets we beat him and the bees, garnering quite a few stings ourselves. My dad finally grabbed my brother, slung him over his shoulder and took off while I fought a rear guard action to cover our hasty retreat to the truck. As we drove to the Dr's, bees kept coming out of his clothes, bouncing around the cab and eventually flying out the windows. When he got stripped down at the hospital he had a few dozen dead bees still squashed under his clothes, a few in some pretty tender areas! He ended up spending a few days in the hospital, swollen up until his eyes wouldnt open and looking like the Michelin Man, and he wasnt even allergic to them.
Instead of going fishing that night, my dad and I burned that nest out. When my brother got home, he punched me for beating him so hard with my jacket (Oh, yeah, I also collected rocks and arrowheads when walking the fields, so my pockets were full of bruising ballast)!

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let�s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I�ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
