Hi, Chris and Bob,
It's not just beekeepers; all the men I know are partially deaf. May just
be age, but men who are my age were exposed to a lot of noise in WWII (guns,
airplanes) and subsequent conflicts, plus various sustained occupational
noises later (drilling rigs in my case). Lord knows what the new generation
of rock fans will develop.
