I was also declared allegic to bee stings, but my allergist said I could keep
my bees.  After all, one can always get stung by walking in shorts through a
field of dandilions or clover.
 
Check again before you get into a hot suit to work your bees.
 
As a postscript, after 5 years of venom therapy I was declared desensitized.
 The allergist who handled the case appreciated the occaisional present of
honey, but wouldn't accept it as payment for her services.  Oh, well.
