This is yet a big reason why it makes all sorts of sense to teach apitherapy
patients to self-administer bee stings from bees that they raise themselves.

Beekeepers get stung by bees.  This is an nearly unavoidable aspect
of the hobby/profession.  If the stings happen to help mitigate the
symptoms of a beekeeper's pre-existing medical condition, great!

But no one is "liable" for the actions of apprentice beekeepers except
themselves, since they undertake beekeeping by choice.

Such "approval" is only required if one wishes to turn bees into tiny
expensive winged syringes in the hands of the medical profession.
Why would anyone want that when they are now as close to "free"
as anything could be?
