Milt,Yes, you should be concerned over the reaction to the stings. You should keep on hand an EPIPEN, which is an emergency dose of
epinephrine in a single self administrating dose. Its by prescription, but I never had a problem getting my Doctor to write a
script. Take it with you when you work the bees. Keep it in a shaded place, not in direct sun.Better to be safe than sorry.
    Of course the bees will be aggressive and out of sorts after the bear attack. I would leave them alone for awhile and let them
adjust to the new location and to being combined. You can just observe them from outside and get a good idea if foraging is
continuing and normal activity is resuming. My bees tend to cluster outside in very warm weather. Kate
