What about those who take Hugo's advice that bee venom all has to be cleared
out by the kidneys , however immune the beekeeper becomes to swelling?   Is
renal failure an occupational risk for professional beekeepers - or is it in
fact unknown?  What of employed staff?  We have increasing legislation in UK
at not exposing workers to health risks - prison sentences are on the
horizon.  Is it really so impossible for professional beekeepers to avoid
stings - or is it that u are working so fast that protective clothes are an
impediment?
