Yep thats a very,very sad story. I had a similar issue with wasps, though much less devastating while riding my lawn tractor last year. The tire dropped into a hole and as i tried to lift it out i was attacked by a swarm of wasps, i was lucky and was only stung a few dozen times, they go for the eyes so my eyelids closed up very fast. They followed me into the house and kept following me until i found some bug spray and zapped the fuckers. This would have been a funny sight for anyone looking on at grown man waving his arms around and bashing into things as he tries to escape, but i will say it frightened the shit out of me, dangerous fucking pests!!
