I ran over a bumble bee nest today while bushhogging (mowing) a field. They didn't appreciate it very much. They were just boiling out of the hole so fast that I stopped counting them at 2 &1/2 million bees  ;).

Seriously there were dozens dive bombing the glass windows on the cab on the tractor. Couldn't get a good picture of them flying around but here's a few.

Oh man...  I got stung by a bumble when I was just a kid.. It left an impression strong enough that I don't want it to happen again...
