You know, I have had the same experience. The ones from the ground are mean.

On the other hand, I’ve had those things that build nests in the ground chase after me for no reason at all, apparently one spotted me and gave off some sort of attack pheromone that causes a whole swarm to declare war. Similar to those stories about Africanized bees stinging people and their horses to death. (I didn’t die though.)

They are my friends. Tell your guy to befriend them. you cant pet them though, no matter now much you want to. The trick is to just be mindful of where they are so you dont injure them, then just go about your business as you normally would. They wont bug you as long as you dont hurt one On Tue, Nov 6, 2018 at 3:50 PM <ch...@wbmfg.com> wrote: I went and rented a full beekeepers get up for $20 one afternoon when I was faced with the same thing on a water tower.

We needed to replace a radio today and there were so many he didn't think he could safely perform the work. He even had to be careful climbing down since they were swarming the entire way. Also, he didn't see any nests so even if we could use wasp spray we wouldn't know where to use it. What is the best way to deal with this?
