Carpenter Bee in flight by berelaxed

Carpenter Bee in flight

I have nothing against this fellow, but two kinsman, most likely a yellow jackets, zoomed out of their underground nest and stung me on the ankle (through my sock) and just above my eyebrow. It was just as we started our yard work today. So, it was not a great beginning, but we kept on after some ice and a bit of a rest. The ankle sting looks fine, but the one above my eye is sore and a bit swollen. Condo living sounds good to us this evening!


For the Record,
This day came in sunny and hot.

All hands weary.
I would love to have a beautiful yad with lots of flowers but can't afford the gardener. My friend got bit by wasps today. Are the bees and their relatives having a sting the humans day?

@joansmor We need a gardener, it's getting to be so much work, our property is big. Nasty day for stings!

Omg, I relate. A bug bit me above the eye while camping a couple of weeks ago and it took about a week to heal.
