Subject: [NAFEX] Bumble aggressionIn my experience, disturbing a wild bumblebee nest is a "stimulating" event. Sometimes, I'll accidentally scythe around a nest entrance & get an unexpected bit of sprint training, usually after a very painful sting or two. Not quite as bad as yellow jackets for mass attacks, but still pretty aggressive....gene-----Original Message-----That's the most aggressive behavior I've ever heard of in bumble bees. Are you sure you didn't have a species of underground living wasp?

Mark:
I have found a similar thing with bumble bees. However, if you disturb their
nest they will chase you. I did this and was chased from the barn to the
house (100 yds)where, to escape, I closed the screen door behind me. The bee
buzzed the screen several times and then waited for me to come out.
