Being new at beekeeping all this talk of fatal or near fatal sting experiences has got me somewhat concerned. Does anyone know what percentage of beekeepers have had a reaction vs those that have not ? Were these people wearing protective clothing when they got stung ? Should I consult a Doctor and ask for an Epipen "just in case"? I have only been working bees a short time and I use a full jump suit and veil but have only been stung once. I have been stung probably at least once a year for the last 10 years (usually by wasps or hornets) and have never had a reaction. Is there any cause for concern ? _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
