Default Hornet's on 18

My friend ducked into the woods directly behind the basket on 18 (new 18) to grab his disc. A second later I saw him leap out of the woods, and proceed to throw down the craziest dance moves I have ever seen. Apparently he ran right into a hornet's nest and was stung 10-15 times... I saw them prowling around directly after, and man, they were pissed. You could hear them from the 19th tee. Be careful.

All of these are probably yellowjackets, not bees. Bees are very rarely aggressive unless you attack their hive.

Very few but some of the Africanized bee populations have moved north. They are highly agressive and not very pleasant to deal with.
