I got stung by a bee. Right under my chin. Even more disturbing than the sting, though was knowing the bee was still on me and not being able to find it. I felt like an addict, sure there were bees all over my body. I shook out my hair, flapped my clothing, shook my hair out some more. Just couldn't find it. Then I was still and I heard it. A clicking sound. So I dashed upstairs, ripped on my clothes and there it was. Tucked inside the shoulder of my shirt.
The reason I got stung was due to the underground nest of bees in our back yard. Found on Monday.
According to the info on line ground bees are hard to get rid of - naturally. This site offered a long list of possible solutions. We decided against using an enormous torch (like the kind in the movies), pouring gasoline down the hole and smoking them out. Instead tried to cover the hole with a tarp and suffocate them. Just went out to check and discovered an additional hole that they've been flying in and out of . . . smart ass bees. Calling an exterminator in the morning.
