Default Help-Wasp and Bees in My Deer Stand

Mainly hunt in Central Texas. We have a healthy bee and wasp population and always have. These jokers always manage to get into my stands. Normally I seal everything with silicone after season, but they can still manage to take up residence by finding the smallest of holes.

I have had to remove entire hives by means of extermination from my stand. Last year my father and I manged to get into some "Africanized Bees" (sent off to Texas A and M and had tested), while pushing brush. They tore us up, and is now a considerable concern. I have always prided myself as being a tough guy and generally just lived with these critters while I hunted.

This year I want to start taking my 3 year old along with me. I would like to make it more kid friendly in these terms. Anyone have a suggestion for bee and wasp prevention in deer blinds?
