[RC] Re:Stirring up Hornet's Nest - Mary HowellI have a vivid memory from the second loop of the Pan Ams in Vermont about 5 years ago...several of us were cantering pretty for the photographer across a field of green when we started hearing shouts from riders slightly ahead of us who'd had the misfortune to stir up a next of ground bees. By the time my horse got to the site, the bees were off chasing the earlier horses and had pretty well dispersed. I got stung on the back of my neck and seem to remember several horses being stung fairly seriously... Just last week, while weedeating along my fenceline, I was stung in two places and couldn't believe how much my one leg swelled and how much it hurt even 24 hours later...is it just me or are stinging insects getting more powerful these days? Mary and Shiloh sweating it out in 101 degree VA =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
