Eric Simms:
Hobbyists and sideliners are probably more at risk for developing an allergy to bee venom:  our club has lost many hobbyists that developed an allergy to bee venom.

Rely:
Don't know if it is the bee venom here or possibly over the counter medications taken like Advil or Tylenol or other pain killers, etc., that breach the immune system causing the allergic reactions. You basically cannot take medications and work honeybees without expecting problems, especially pain killers.
