In 2004 I was stung by a Hornet in the New Forest and it's an experience I don't wish to repeat any time soon  , it was very painful and made the prospect of a wasp sting seem very minor in comparison.

John, I would think that they gave you a warning and you just didn't notice it. They scare me to death, actually, so, the second I hear buzzing I turn and change directions, slowly take a couple of steps, then look back. It's a matter of keeping a "poker face". I felt sorry for my grandson, I was also petting butterflies, he should have started out with them.
