Ma had to get in there for something and said they're still in there. i think some type of mason bee. can sting more than once. bugger got me before i got her once in the heel and once on the end of the index finger of all places. luckily the sting wore off in a few hours. not allergic. ok today will be a busy day. hope everyone is doing well? songbird I've had trouble with yellow jackets. They are not pollinators and have no reason to live. In past years, I was not allergic but last couple of stings caused swelling and one on the finger sent me to the doctor for prednisone as whole hand swelled up. Benadryl and maybe one of those sting pens are a good idea. I have to disagree with part of your first statement. While yellow jackets do little in the way of pollination, they do have a reason to live as they are a valuable asset in one's garden. They are great garden pest eliminators who use the spoils of their victories as food for their young. If you're a gardener, here's an article that may change your view of the yellow jackets. http://www.motherearthnews.com/organ...z1303zkin.aspx or http://tinyurl.com/gl97lho Ross.
