Has anyone noticed OP is in Texas? Aren't those bees all partially Africanized by now? If so they won't be as docile as pure honey bees. I'm in Texas and have bees. Mine are about as docile as they come. |

Maybe the lawn mower was being operated so that it threw grass clippings at the hive or something.
I have 15 hives. One of them is right on our deck. We eat dinners ten feet from it. None of my kids have ever been stung. One of my neighbors complained that his son was getting stung. I went over to see him about it and found an underground yellow jacket nest. |

We recently had a big problem with our new neighbors honey bees. I even had a thread on it. He wasn't giving them water so they were coming to our horse troughs and pool to get water. They became very aggressive around the water. Stung horses and people several times. I had a second round of words with neighbor. He started putting out a pan of water but then would forget to refill it. Did you know most states have a state apiarist? Kind of like animal control for bee keepers. I don't have a bee problem anymore.

Interesting.
Just found a "swarm" of honey bees at about head height in the little tree out front. People were walking past without a problem. Kids were playing in the yard within 10' of the small swarm and no one was getting stung. I was two feet away taking pictures and not bothered at all. Ironically, a neighbor across the street within 50 yards of the swarm has three hives in his back yard. We are in the city. His "mentor" a few blocks over has 11 hives in his yard. Our neighbor decked out in his suit brought his smoker and an empty box, cut the small limb and dropped it neatly in the box without anyone around getting stung or really even bothered by the bees. Ten minute operation. Ask your neighbor for some honey, feed it to the kids. She may even give the kids a few lessons on bee keeping and explain to them about honey bees. |

Some bees will sting when you run a mower or weedeater, but usually only within 30' of the hive (at most). You can have hive robbing events during a nectar dearth that can send out a bunch of pissed off bees to around 125' (but this only happens 1-2x a year). Best bet is to talk to your neighbor and see if she can move the hives further away from your property line. However, if they are over 50' away and are stinging your family when mowing, they probably aren't her hives getting riled up; just you mowing a bunch of bees on flowers on the ground and pissing them off.

Some honeybees are not your friend. My neighbor had a beehive just 8' from my fence and maybe 20' from my garden for years and I never had a problem with them. Super cool bees every year until he got a new batch one time. Those things were aggressive as hell and I couldn't even weed my garden. As soon as the hoe hit the ground they would come attack me. He killed them off that Winter and got a new batch the next year and they were fine. Most honeybees are fine but not all. The neighbor is getting up there in age and no longer has bees.
So the other day I was talking to a guy and he said that bees were bad this year and I said I hadn't had any problem with them. Wouldn't you know, I go to mow today and get half way around the edge of my back yard and get stung by a bee on my ankle, through the sock. WTF Then I go past the same area on the way back around and get stung again on my neck! Fucking bees have a hole in the ground at the base of my Walnut tree! I just started spraying Ortho Home Defense MAX in the hole to kill them off. Right about sunset tonight I'm going to dump the rest of the whole container down the hole on them. I used to like bees but this is war! 
ETA: Sevin dust is highly toxic to bees and I would be using that if I still had some. |

You have provided very little information to help solve the problem. You have only mentioned two bee stings- I am assuming there were more? Did you have to remove a stinger each time? Are they in a particular part of the yard? Do you know where the neighbor's hives are? How big are the properties (how far away are the hives now/ how far could they reasonably be moved?). What's the water situation ? If you want to start a war with your neighbor by killing off her bees, you're on your own. If you want to solve the problem, well, call somebody local who can help (as posted above). If you want assistance here, more information would be helpful. If you just wanted a flame war... Well, my bad then, and I'll leave you to it. Edit: spelling |

It isnt the bees. Are you pulling stingers out of their arms? I'm thinking there's a small wasp nest somewhere. I mean a nest with small wasps. I have em around my cabin and they are a major source of aggravation for me.
ETA: Read the part about power tools and YUP. That can possibly do it. A foreign loud noise that emulates danger can set them off. Even non-africanized bees have attacked people using loud instruments doing yard work. Bees have levels of aggression that vary greatly. It isnt just european vs african. There can be mixed breeding and different hives can react to different things. There was a study a while back on aggressive bees vs docile bees and overall survivability to the elements and disease. If I recall they had found the more aggressive hives had higher survivability. |

I have a rather large honey bees nest in a post in my barn. The gate to said barn is hinged to said post. Been putting round bales of hay in the barn all summer, constantly opening and closing gate, driving so close to the post at times that my rear tire misses it by inches. And this is easily a 70 hp tractor with an open cab. I have yet to be stung. I am gonna have to agree that it's prolly not a honey bee stinging but something else very similar.
I say we all have a drink or 5 and enjoy this thread before the lock!

Look for a nest of wasps or yellow jackets in the ground. My mom used to keep bees and you had to work to get stung. OTOH I've been popped by half a dozen times in just a few seconds by yellow jackets while pulling weeds in the garden.

I like my bees and all, but would be ready to move the ones from here at the house if they were a problem for neighbors. You should ask if she has a plan, she may be oblivious but very willing to accommodate, like I would be. But then again, I have been largely unimpressed with beekeepers in general, as far as interpersonal relations go. They are a strange lot, by and large, and can be spiteful as hell. Good luck. |

Don't think it's your neighbors bees, look for a wild nest someplace on or near your property.

I have wild bees in a tree in the yard and they never mess with us or the yard guys..... Are you sure its the honey bees that are getting them? +1 Honey bees are pretty passive. Yellow Jackets and other wasps will sting with little provocation, even walking near their nest will often do it. |

One nest is in a tree that I mow and weedeat around. Again look for yellow jackets. Op if it might help you to know that if it was a honey bee that stung you or your kids then it's dead now so you already won. |

As everyone else has said, honey bees are typically not aggressive at all. Unless you serious mess with them, they leave you alone.
Now if there are some yellow jackets around. Those MFers are aggressive and generally pissed off at the world. |

Think hard about trying to kill them. In a lot of states it is illegal to destroy a managed hive. If you poison them and she finds out, you may well end up buying her some brand new bees.

If you aren't having to pull out stingers, you are not being stung by Honey Bees. I can't believe this didn't get mentioned earlier. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
