Your post is broken. I'm pretty sure it's because you put a hyphen in the user tag, which should look like this: xxxxx - different from the lj-cut which does require a hyphen.
I used to get surrounded by what we called "meat bees" when I was butchering. I'm not sure whether they were bees or wasps, but I suspect wasps, although their bodies were more fat, like bees. They are also carnivorous, and swarm when they smell blood. They were always a real pain. Sometimes, in the early hunting season, hunters would bring their kill into the shop and the inside cavity would have several meat bees. They would really slow down after being in the cooler for a couple of days and we would dump them out and put them out in the dumpster. Once they warmed up, they'd fly away. One day, while cleaning out the back of my truck after butchering some pigs, a meat bee stung me in the tender flesh on the back of my arm. OUCH! Between that and having a wasp down the back of my pants while driving, I'm a little paranoid (imagine that!).
