boy do I REMEMBER that feeling lol
If there was no stinger left then it was a wasp (those suckers can sting more then once, a bee will leave its stinger in you & then later on die).
Heres a funny wasp story (just to make you giggle).
I was walking my RB dog Max in the forest with my friend. We were on the old traintracks & I was tossing a stick into the bush for Max to scent track & return. Then 1 time he came back out with nothing & a sad look on his face. So I said where is it & followed him in. I knew it was near the pile of old traintrack logs, but wasn't sure where (it was a big pile lol). As we were walking on the pile I heard a crunch (its been so long i forget who did it), then bzzz bzzz bzzz bzzz OMG there were MILLIONS! It looks like a shot taken from the movies, you know the BIG ball of bees! Well thats what i saw infront of me. I yelled MAX RUN (its a command he knew) & pointed & i ran too.
My friend was standing on the tracks waiting for us when she heard me yelling & both of us tearing out of the bush. I was doing that OMG GET THEM OFF dance, you know whipping your arms all over & looking like a fool lol
I was yelling BEES MILLIONS RUN (there was LOTS of swearing, but I wont post that lol).. So Max & I kept running. Max had them ALL over his fur. I took stones & was gently tossing them at the bees on him & brushing them off with larger stones. Max was good, didn't move a muscle. Then I saw one on the less hairy part of his leg & was worried that one would sting him (the other couldn't sting him due to his fur), so I brushed it a little too hard & the bugger was now PISSED & in slow motion I watched him from the corner of my eye, fly behind me & STING!!
Thats when I went crazy! I was screaming GET IT OFF IT STUNG ME & really freakying out. My friend wouldn't even go near me![]()
After I stopped freaking & ran about a good 1/2 km down the tracks I stopped & started walking back towards my confused & scared friend (I think we were 15-16 then). Max was fine, no stings & no sore spots. My sting wasn't pretty. it was about the size & shape of a golf ball cut in 1/2..
Stupid freaky little Wasps (I don't know what kind they were but they were green looking). Just glad they wen't yellow jackets, THOSE don't stop attacking!
