Hahaha...my first laugh of the day! Thx. Did you get stung?
No - I am still amazed that I wasn’t stung. They got caught in my hair and so as I ran I was trying to squish them and hit them before they could make it to my scalp. Didn’t get the first sting. The bad thing was I had driven to that clearing and parked my car right behind the hives. So I had to walk all the way back, hoping they had calmed down enough for me to retrieve my vehicle :-)
