>  That may not be true for all people. Having been keeping bees for a mere
10 years, the more I get stung the stronger the reaction. Including the
desensitization offered in the allergy clinic.

Anne, curious about this.  How many stings do you typically receive a
month?  There appears to be some threshold at which one moves from
sensitization to development of immunity.  Receiving a few stings a year
can definitely lead to sensitivity.  A few stings a month may not be enough
to develop and maintain immunity.
