Plans

I got home in the middle of the day and decided that I would give it a shot. The planning was terrible: I started the trip with 47% battery which is never enough for a trip.

In short, take a bus to Beit Shemesh and then walk about four kilometers to the hash point through some forests with pleasant paths.

Expedition

It started out fine with a pleasant mid-day bus ride to Beit Shemesh. I hiked out of town through a sandy path that fell apart under my feet. I crossed highway 38 above the highway and found a path that followed the road south. When I got to what looked like a good path to turn west (right), I took it. I then found another nice path that continued south (left) and saw a truck. Oh no big deal, I'll just pass it on the side at a run so it doesn't bother me.

I then heard "'akitzot" yelled from the truck. That means stings. As in 'akitzot dvorim means bee stings. Then I saw some cartons which made me realize that there was a small commercial hive there. Then I ran like an idiot throwing my phone and my hat as several bees circled me. I ran at least fifty meters if not more and I ended up throwing off my shirt as well. Fortunately I think I was only stung in the back of the head once and I pulled out the dying bee from my hair. It might have help that I ran away spinning around in order to disorient the bees from attacking me but I have no idea.
