I might as well ask this since I got stung or bit by a bee yesterday during America day.

Last year, when taking strolls, it was rare enough for a bee to swarm around me that I could go whole strolls without it happening sometimes.

This year, they swarm around me everywhere. Everywhere. It’s like fighting your way through putty patrollers. They respawn instantly, there’s absolutely no lag. Shoo one away and one comes back five seconds later. Sometimes for three hour strolls encompassing six miles.

What the heck happened? Anyone else notice this?

Also, most people in the US think that yellow jackets are bees when they are in fact wasps. So it could be a wasp that stung OP.

For sure could be. They don’t leave their stingers, they hurt like hell, and they’re complete assholes.

Complete asshole almost always means yellow jacket.
