a Mike S snip followed by my comments..
>I DON'T have those. Instead, I have the ankle stingers version. Got new ankle high boots a couple of weeks ago.
Decades ago in working for a commercial migratory beekeeper we use to run into hives that when you took off the lid would pour out of the bottom entry and head straight for your ankles and feet. It did not seem to matter who it was it just seem to be their style so I never thought it was about the kind of boots we wore. We called these 'ankle biters'.
Fast forward to the current time frame when I first heard the term I thought they were talking about those same kind of bees.
