[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]how are you supposed to find them before you get attacked and can die from it? [/quote]

I had no idea I would encounter a nest in my backyard. Did know nothing about these insects until they followed me around while I as running away, had a violent allergic response and almost died on the way to the hospital. I’m grateful to be here, advising you to wear protective clothing that covers your whole body. Be vigilant.

Can't they sting through clothing? I'm glad you are here too. I'm allergic to bee stings too and have almost died twice when I was younger and now while I'd love to do yard work as a hobby I'm way too afraid. It sucks. I don't think you can see the nests until it’s too late.[/quote]

They can’t sting through clothes as long as you wear thick fabrics under a light colored apiculturist suit with head coverage. It’s very uncomfortable during the growing season. I’ve never been afraid of gardening wearing shorts and t-shirts until now. If you’ve been stung  by a bee or a common wasp, and the area of the body was swollen, you’ll most likely will have an anaphylactic shock next time. It happened to me. I’ve been gardening for over 20 years.

Just remember to avoid wearing dark and vivid colored clothing when you go out.
