As he was cutting the tree I see him start moving back and forth, then drop the saw on the ground and start running. Apparently there was an underground nest at the base of the tree. I struggled with the seatbelt inside the machine for about 30 seconds before I was able to get out and run for it. They swarmed around the tree until dark. He was stung about 10 times, somehow I avoided it completely.

At 14 I almost died by the same situation. Underground nest, ran over it with a lawn mower, 14 stings, no clue I was allergic. One of those "the next thing I knew was the last thing I remembered" situations. Woke up roughly 8 hours later looking like the Michelin man - completely swollen, blotchy, difficulty breathing, etc. The neighbors son took me to the ER; I don't remember any of it.
