Oh man I hit some yellow jackets in a bucket with an old versalift. The turn table was painfully slow, that was a bad, bad day. I ended up throwing the chain saw hoping they chased the noise and vibration, I don’t think it helped much.

Edit: I just wanted to reiterate how badly it sucks being stung by yellow jackets they’re so mother fucking mean man.

Do they die after they sting you or can they keep stinging you?

They can keep stinging, and they bite.
