> Something like one in 50,000 among the general population and about one in a >hundred among beekeepers and their close families. My daughter had a true allergic reaction to honeybee venom. Her allergist told me the numbers are more like 1 in 200 in the general population are allergic to HBV, while the numbers go to 1 in 10 in beekeeper families. 1 in 50,000 seems a bit low to me.
