INVASION in the green lot

We had a good number in the front of Yellow yesterday as well. I just think they wanted to party as well. Seriously we always see them this time of year. They were slow and easy to swat away.

This is the first time I have seen them in the green lot, being in that lot for about five or six years... I think that there must be a bee hive in the trees nearest the stadium, towards the bubble... We could not leave anything out with sugar in it....

One or two bees, I wouldn't even mention it, but it was a constant problem this time.
 
One landed on my head, thought it was a fly so I swatted and the bastard stung me in the temple. Good thing I was tailgating strong or the game would have hurt a lot more.
 
Approaching the time of year they seem more aggressive. When I worked an outdoor bar it was not unusual to get stung at least once a shift in the late summer.
 
They were in the white lot. They were actually killing themselves landing in the pancake syrup.
 
Whole bunch in the front of the Blue Lot. Thought. There was a hive in the tree we parked under but apparently they were everywhere.
 
Rutgers fans need to camp out starting 2 days before game day with bug zappers and wasp traps hung on the side of their trailers like the rest of college football fans.

I put a half a cup of Bloody Mary's on our table and a few thought they reached the mother hive!!

Yep, they were all over the place. Usually they're attracted to garbage - I have to wonder if they didn't clean up soon enough after last weeks game. Once they've identified an territory, they'll keep returning to it all the time.
 
We had some bees around our tailgate, but nobody seemed particularly bothered. One killed itself in our maple syrup bottle.

One of our younger tailgaters trapped a bee under a cup as we were breaking everything down to head into the game. The bee was understandably irritated. Not sure who let the bee out, but anybody walking in after us might have been wondering what this really angry bee's problem was. Now you know.

Bees hate sheep urine. So there's always the option of bathing in it before the tailgate.

I think the same F'ing Bee followed me from the purple lot to my seat. I was in purple had nothing but BEER and bee was buzzing my head for 3 hrs my brother was laughing. I got into stadium and had a head buzzer for the whole game
 
Same problem in black lot, from a distance looked like lots of people fighting invisible things.

last week in the purple lot these wasps were all over the place...i went to finish my Not Your Fathers Root Beer, took a swig and was like whats that did someone put paper in the bottle..then I quickly realized whoops, its a wasp and I quickly spit out..very lucky not to get stung but I kept checking my tongue every 5 minutes because it was feeling a little weird
 
We were battling the bees all morning in purple as well. We trapped 10 or so under various cups, but they kept on coming.

You wouldn't happen to be related to Hunter S. Thompson, would you? [winking]

Hey now. And I thought it was strange some guy was making out w/his tiny dog. Now we find out you were french-kissing a wasp. :D
 
We had a bunch of bees flying around us at Johnson Park, both in the parking lot and then in the actual park, and then again in section 131. Hopefully they disappear before Saturday somehow.
