Greetings to all.

I don't usually reply to postings, but feel I'm qualified in this
instance.

I've been through the antifilactic shock and anti-venom shot series, and
will and do carry an epi-pen, and will use it on another when and if I
feel it's needed.  You KNOW when you need the epi-pen when the time
comes.  You can feel your throat swelling, you've quit sweating, your
heart is pounding, you're flushed, weak, dizzy, nauseated, etc.  All
those good things.

Also, we as beekeepers know the toxisity of bee venom, and I feel we
could be charged with neglect in the case of a newcomer getting stung
especially in a bee yard and having a severe reaction because we didn't
act appropiately.

Pointing the veichle towards the way out only works if yu're alert
enough to drive.  If not, if you're too confused or whatever, you're in
trouble. Better to give your self a shot and then go to the hospital.

Keeping bees anyway.  Does that make me dumb or brave?
