I was stung 9 times on my butt for my 9th anniversary while hiking with my husband last year. As I stepped on a yellow jacket nest they flew up my shorts. You wouldn't believe how swollen my butt was! Okay, maybe you can get the visual. And oh, the pain. Followed by the itching. It was unbearable. No photo's for this one. Anyhow, as I was wallowing on the couch, it got me thinking. "What is the purpose of a yellow jacket?"
