Would anyone know if zinc supplements are advisable for bee keepers to take or would it merely keep bees away? I've read that insects are attracted to people deficient in zinc and that an increase in zinc intake is to help prevent bee stings. If recommended, what would be a safe dosage? Also, just yesterday I got stung by a bee above my eye and my eye is still half swollen shut (over 30 hr. later) When I first got stung by bees it seemed to be no real big problem. Then at some places where stung (on face or arm) it would swell up a day or two later and took quite awhile until it was back to normal. Could I have developed an allergy or is this normal?
