Then as Jose was swatting bees and running he dropped his garmin handheld so we had to go back to were the bees were and end up getting stung a couple more times.

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...

I have but only if you are taking the hive apart and taking the honey. I would report it and let them get taken care of.

FYI when running from bees run into the wind and hit every branch or anything else that moves. Running into the wind gives you an advantage on speed. But bees see movement so hitting a branch will get some to go after the movement. So every branch you hit will get some bees off of you. Grab your dog because they tend to want to fight the bees.

The only bees in the woods that have chased me were hornets. But I got rid of them faster than than you got rid of those bees. So I think they need to be taken care of. Now if the dogs or a hog knocked a hive over they could just be honey bees. Short of that they are killer bees.

That makes scince about the wind and movement of branches! Thanks for the info and the bees were  in a hollow tree that was leaned over about 6 ft off the ground. I don't know what made them get after the dog I guess he got a little close for there comfort.

The Ranch manager wants us to take him to the bees to see how they can be taken care of.. We were lucky it could have been worse than what it was

I'm allergic to bees. Sad

If I see one, there is NO 'staying calm' and all that jazz. I will be running for my life, lmao. I JUST recently got better at ignoring them HUGE fat bumble bees that hover around like helicopters, lol. It's them smaller bees that scare me, for good reason. It's that time of year now where alot of folks out here are keepin the bee boxes on their properties. Ugh.

We were doing a guided hunt several years back down near Bay City. My partner's group got attacked by a swarm of killer bees. I guess the 4 wheeler motors set them off when they got too close to the hive. One of the guys natural reaction was to jump off and run, he got stung around 40 times. Unfortunately, he left his bulldog on the bike and the dog didn't make it. The bees were still swarming it several hours later when they had to ride by in a truck, rope the 4 wheeler and drag it away.

Well the time I got stung and found out I was allergic.....I froze like everyone told me, and the daggone thing landed right on me of course.....took all I had not to panic, didn't move, but the sucker still stung me!!! WTF.
