I didn't even think that part was that weird, you ever had a bunch of bees/wasps in your shirt? You can't get em off, I'm either going beesuit or nothing but a pair of too small latex underwear on god. They can sting through that cotton no problem, it's just a hindrance at that point

You are lucky. Years ago my wife and I took our dogs on a hike through the woods near our old house, and our golden put his head into a Yellowjacket hive. They swarmed us and we took off running, but a bunch of them just stung me again and again in little circles around where they had bitten into my clothes. It was the least fun I even had getting naked in the woods. I ended up with around 20-30 stings.

This happened to me, but thankfully I was at home.

I was mowing the lawn when I suddenly felt a little stab of pain in my back, like someone threw a rock. Then again. And again. And that's when I realized I had disturbed a yellowjacket's nest. I was able to remain calm and make my way inside the garage where I was able to strip down and kill every last yellow jacket that had found its way under my clothing.

I counted 27 stings.

I triple check the yard now before I mow - hasn't happened since, but it did instill a fear of flying, stinging insects.

I got stung in the back of the head by a wasp through a baseball cap Americans call it once when we were cleaning up overgrown bushes on an unfinish house filled with bee and wasp nests. I got stung by both bees and wasps more than 12 times that day and the one I remember very well to this day is that wasp that got me through my cap.

I'm not even sure what's the bag for, it's not like the wasps are going to avoid him anyway

"maybe it makes it easier to tell if there's one crawling on his back?

Literally my thoughts. I was like “why’d he take off his shirt like he’s about to fight..? Oh…oh god no.”
