I was chased by bumble bees (stung once)so how long before they forget my scent so I can go in my shed again?

Question

I evudently accidentally trapped a bumble bee under a lid while getting horse feed.  When I heard the racket, I tried to free it until I saw the other bees coming, so I high tailed it to the house.  About 30 monutes later, I went back to get some of the feed and a little later, one bee must have smelled my scent and came after me when I was around a corner of the house.

Answer 1

ARE YOU SURE THEY ARE BEES AND NOT WASPS..............sound like you have to wait until dark and get a hornet spray at spray them in the dark............don't keep a flash light on them because they will come out of the nest and sting you......if you are afraid get someone to help you.........try one of those plug in units and see if it will keep them out.

This could be a carpenter bee, they will live anywhere, in ground, side of a hill, or make a nest.........look like a bumble bee but a nasty carpenter bee.

Answer 2

I thought only hornets nested in the ground. I found a nest of bumble bees in an old skunks hole.
