What are those "Bees" infesting the bunkers? Will they sting me?
Firstly, no, they will not sting
you. They are actually not bees at all
but, rather, Eastern Cicada Killer Wasps. Although their large size and
swarming can be intimidating, they are non-aggressive. Unless these
insects are directly handled, they try to avoid contact and will not sting
people. Control of these wasps is very difficult and really unnecessary
unless they are burrowing in areas such as putting greens or fairways where
they can cause damage.
Although they are a nuisance to golfers, the Eastern Cicada Killer wasps are
more interested in killing Cicadas than stinging humans.
