The topic below reminded me of when I was helping my neighbor get in his tobacco, he rented land from my uncle. The first May, we noticed a small 5 inch hornets nest over the southwest corner of the barn - pointed it out, my uncle was going to remove it in January but it had gotten too big for his 5 gallon bucket, and he almost fell trying to use a washtub. In May when he went to open the barn by prying every third board loose, he remembered the nest and left that corner undone. When we started bringing the tobacco to the barn, the hornets hated the sound of the john Deere - so we came in the opposite way to avoid being stung. The bees did not mind the John deere running away from them. Needless to say when a hot mid August day came we were hurrying to get the tobacco in the barn and out of the sun. We got to the corner and saw the barn hadnt been opened in that corner and started kicking boards out - you guessed it - we struck the nest.... the hornets came pouring out some stayed on the outside while others attacked the john deere tractor in the driveway below - few came in the barn, still I got stung by four. We opened a cross driveway at the far end of the barn and worked there for the rest of the day, waiting til the next morning to rescue the john deere. Below may be a pic of an "opened" barn at Serenity Farm in Benedict Maryland - not the one with the hornet nest, that was called Barn Behind Sanford, who owned the house next to it.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'.
