Bee in your bonnet?

We have a problem in our area yellow jackets make nest in anything that has not moved in a day or two.

Last year I went for a short ride to the store and half way there I see this Yellow Jacket crawling across my visor (on the inside) I semi-paniced hit my visor up knocked it out of one clip (almost lost it but kept contol of the bike) luckly no sting and no nest in the helmet.

A cloud

Was riding with SWMBO pillon and saw this big cloud beginning to cross the road in front of me. By the time I realized what it was it was too late. Musta killed at least 1000 of 'em but no-one got stung. Fairing, big windshield and just luck. Big honey bee swarm....

Only one sting but...

Only one wasp sting inside my helmet in close to forty years riding.
The creepiest thing was a bat hit me in the shoulder/neck area on a late night run out in the country.
The wing detached from the bat and got stuck in my jacket collar and was flapping against my neck in the breeze until I got stopped and removed it. Lots of guck on my jacket too.
That was about ten years ago and it still really creeps me out.

Early 70's on the back of my brothers' CL350 Honda. We were heading back home from the hills and shooting or .22's. No helmets, I'm on back holding both our rifles. Brother sees one of those giant moths (size of a sparrow) up ahead and ducks. Hits me square in the forehead.... SPLAT!!!! Fortunately I didn't fall off and I didn't drop either rifle. I couldn't see with moth guts running into my eyes. Made it home dying laughing.
