Bumble bees chasing you? Wow, dosen't happen here.
Wasps & Bees maybe, I haven't seen a bee for years...
Whats your deoderant? If its got clove oil or similar in it.... Clove oil is a bee attractent...... It took me 2 decades for me to find out why I was the only one in a group of people to get stung. 6 + times.
Almond is a bee repellant.

Try keeping a coulpe of Bounce dryer sheets around your work area and in a pocket, sounds crazy but it works. Also if you find the hive put some gasoling in a spray bottle and spray the nest. Gas will kill them on contact. Just dont smoke while spraying

eesakiwi, yep - same bees that my truck and I were attacked by this summer I got stung a few times. they got my dad and a neighbor yesterday each got stung.
BRASS, i've never heard of using the dryer sheets, I'm willing to try anything at this point. I have poured old gas from mowers down their holes before but this time they are in the edge of the garage door frame at the bottom. Multiple cans of spray and Apicide isn't fazing them. At all.
This is getting rediculous, you'd think they would want to sleep at night lol.

Up here in the great white north, we blast them out of the air with brake cleaner fluid. The spray cans put out a jet like a water pistol and they drop dead on contact. And the stuff is cheap!

We use it all the time. In the summer the wasps like to build nests in the rear view mirrors and door jams of scrap cars. Brake clean takes care of em real quick. And you can stand back a bit cause it is like a water jet.
If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

are they boring holes into the wood frame? Are you sure it's the same bunch that stung yall? It's usually carpenter(wood) bees that bore into wood, and I didn't think they'd sting, I've worked all around em and never been bit.
After a crop duster sprayed near here a couple of years ago the bees all died, even a wild bunch I'd been watching out in the woods, hoping to rob the tree later on, but they all disappeared. My garden hardly produced at all that year, and the seeds I'd used for years were no longer getting pollinated, so the next spring I had to buy all new ones because the old ones wouldn't grow. Since then I haven't even sprayed wasp nests because they were near the only source of pollination left. Even a nest that started in the well house was spared, although I went in it regular to turn on the water to the garden, but they seemed to get used to me and left me alone ( I think they also liked the fact that when I turned that valve the drip would give em some water too ; )
One thing I learned a long time ago NA, if a swarm of most anything gets after you, and you're wearing a hat, stand still and throw that hat, they'll follow the motion(just be using the spare seconds you gain to locate a suitable place to(hopefully) ease off in to ; )

I also have a can of wasp n hornet killer from ace hardware. Comes in a red can with yellow letters. Usually use that when we find a nest under the kids swing set, works pretty good too.

Spray they with a water hose, once they get wet they can't fly. It'll make it easyer to wrench them to death.

Are they carpenter bees or another kind? The carpenter bees look big and mean, but ive never had one sting.I read the other day the bees dieing off from pesticides, but just in time the same pesticide company now has pesticide resistant bees to sell to the farmers. and the leading bee research firm critical of the pesticides,just got bought by the pesticide company,bet they wont be critisizing in the future
