[QUOTE="cweand, post: 434296, member: 554"] THEY DO NOT STOP THE BEES !!!!!I had one on a couple years ago when I was hunting at the local WMA. I sat down by a tree at zero dark thirty waiting on the sun to come up. After a few minutes I started hearing them buzz around my ears and face then one stung me through the bug suit and then another and another on the face and neck . I got up and tried to calmly ease away well I must have put my cushion right over a nest of the little yellow and black beauties because they came on. I am allergic too and I swear they know it and purposely come after us because we put off some kind of pharmone that makes them attack. Anyway I only had some benadryl with me so I got one out of my gear and took it and then headed for my truck and headed for home which is only 15 minutes away, they got in my truck and when I got home they were inside my bug suit and shirt and pants. When I stripped out of my clothes we were still pulling them off me. My wife couldn't believe it. I took another benadryl and called it a day. I have bought 3 different bug suits over the past several years and none of them really impress me. I still get bit and stung. Oh by the way I also had my Thermocell with me that day and it may work pretty good on mosquitoes but it doesn't stop the bees, wasps, yellow jackets and horse flies. Matter of fact it seems to attract those pesky ground bees. [/QUOTE]
