A J, I know you are right, but seeing this swarm still makes my skin crawl... and it is basically because when we children, my brother accidentally disturbed a nest of them in a mulberry bush. He got stung by a whole hive.. and they stopped counting the stings after 40! We are blessed he was not allergic! But he did end up with a phobia! He worked hard as a young adult to arrest the fear-- he's not terrified of them now, and is quite crafty in eliminating them if need be!

As for me.. they can keep the stings, just give me the honey!
