"Hit the branch" and it stirred up the hive in the tree? or saw a swarm on a branch and thought he would grab it and shake it for fun? I wish I got that sort of publicity when I got stung multiple times hahah

I was thinking the same but wasnt sure if i should comment! its odd how he knew they were there and still got close enough to hit the branch.
