Uhmm, not tp be picky, but this statistic is kind of
irrelevant, no?
12 deaths/12 years means what? What is the ratio of bees
to population? A more meaningful measure would be deaths
per thousand people exposed. I suspect that ratio would
be way in the favor of EHB, but miniscule in either case
compared to other risks.
