I personally know this works on again bee stings. This is just one of the lessons I remember from my loving Grandmother and have passed on down the line..
Yes, it works for waspers too! That's an old trick & a good one to pass on! Chewing tobacco or dip works too...
drharveys... I feel your pain, around here we call them dirt-dobbers. They build nests everywhere. I bet I can go out and find 5 or 6 right now... My boss's bike was running crappy the other day. We checked his fuel filter -good, checked his air filter and had a big dirt-dobber nest up in it. It was originally in a spot that was out of the way but had fell down blocking the airway. They are annoying as hell but like you said, harmless.
Those honey bees aren't bad unless they're Africanized. Luckily they haven't made it to this part of the country... yet!
My buddy had a big bee in his shirt when we stopped for a drink today. He didn't even know it until we were inside & he felt it crawling around. A quick shirt shake and it was loose in the store. No harm done.
I hate when you hit a june-bug or something while going about 70mph. Those suckers are hard & they'll bring tears to your eyes if they hit you in the right spot!
