I remember reading about this earlier and was able to find it again on the

To follow up on Denise's comments. ALL beekeepers should have an epipen (both
adult and childrens dosage)on hand whenever in the beeyard. Anaphalactic
shock may not be common, but could be deadly. Even if you have not shown any
alergic reaction, be prepared. I know of one beekeeper who collapsed in the field
after being stung...this after many years of no reaction.
I do not know if the beekeeper actually died or not.
Regards,
Denise
