Wanna-Bee-Logger

[JakeG]

Video, as promised... This should give you all a good laugh. :hmm3grin2orange: It did me!

I had my gear packed up bright and early.. Couple saws, gallon and a half of oil, gallon and a half of fuel.



I misjudged the lean of a pine and nipped the holding wood I wanted to keep...The 394 eats a little faster than what I'm used to and I stayed in it too long. Anyway, it turned a bit so I'll have to pull this one down.



Then this happened...

Enjoy!!!

I had every intention of filming some work to get your feedback and help stop my bad habits. Well, after being chased for 5 acres and removing the 20ish stingers from my neck and skull, I called it quits. I checked the weather and let the saw and camera spend a night in the woods. Thankfully it didn't rain!

Have YOU ever been chased through the woods? Let's hear a story...

Makes me itch just looking at those bees!!!!

i found some black bees with 2 yellow stripes on the tails sunday ,they left me alone though ,don't think they like the h1r i run,i never swatted at them just left them alone and they left me alone ,was 5-6 feet from the nest,found some more under my saw mill when i started milling last night ,they got a spray with the raid wasp bee killer stuff

I was weed eating near a compost pile and hit a mother load of yellow jacket/ garbage bees and they nailed me bad!!!! Ran 500 feet to above ground pool (just jumped over the side) to get away and those suckers stayed around for 30 minutes. The POS weed eater was full of gas and idled for an hour with those things going nuts around it.

My tongue and throat started swelling and it felt like my hands, feet and scalp were on FIRE!!! Luckily I had some steroids and benedryl handy and I was close to using the epinephrine but I didn't. I felt goofy for 6 hours after that.

Never had a problem getting stung until that episode!!!

Those things kinda bug me now.

Lets see, cut into bee hives, with honey, yellow jackets, bat caves in aspen trees. this is argueably right up there, but piss ants, talk about having the heebeegeebees the rest of the day..:msp_mellow:

 

[slowp]

Yes. Usually starts about this time of year, and as the days get shorter, the bees get meaner.

I liked the pic with the six or so pounds of bees just sitting there ready to kick your ass. That 394 idles nice:msp_thumbup:

Hey that's nothin to play around with, my father-in-law is allergic to bee stings and has to carry around a eppy pen just in case. He doesn't like using it but if it comes to that it's better then croakin

 

[treeslayer2003]

I been stung prolly 1000 times. wife is allergic, if I see one near her I jus grab it. better for me to get it than her. epi pen or er ain't cheap, and no fun for her.

 

[JakeG]

Brian.. Which saw do you run h1r in? Also, what were you milling with that 660 of yours?

redoakneck and roberte... damn, I don't want any part of those experiences.

Thanks for sharing! I hope you don't acquire any new stories!

I wonder how many more bees are out of sight...

Thanks, the 394 has good power and is so much more fun that the 562. It idled for 20 minutes until it ran out of fuel. I dropped 5 other trees before this attempt. Gotta love the big fuel tank

Ya, definitely keep yer woman safe

Turns out my wife is allergic as well. Last time she got hit by a bee on her forearm, it swelled an area bigger than a baseball. I'm not sure how severe or mild that is considered...?? I would imagine it's mild but not sure.

I found a big hive in a hollow spot about 60ft. Up and i didn't know it until the piece i cut came off and i heard the buzz with ear plugs in,i didn't get stung but my hitch was smoking when i got to the ground and luckly i used a split tail so i just unclipped and ran like hell. Needless to say it was the comedy act of the day because the ground guys laughed every time they looked at me and kept telling me to "bee"careful.

They aren't really sure if she actually gave herself the shot before going unconscious but it was on the floor next to her.

 

[JakeG]

Wow... What an eye opener. Sorry to hear that Ken.

This brings up a question which is probably better suited for a doctor...

Are allergies such as these hereditary? As previously stated, my wife is allergic.. I'd hate for my boys to be allergic and me not be prepared. We're outside every day with countless red wasps and these moster black bee looking things.

 

[treeslayer2003]

jon should be able to help here. I have a terrible grass pollen allergy and so does my oldest and youngest, the middle boy didn't get it. go figure.
