FAQ: "I'd like to keep bees, but I'm afraid of being stung..."
Most folks are scared of being stung, and I can't blame them. But a honeybee sting is nothing compared to a hornet or yellow jacket, and this is the frame of reference that many folks have. It's not the same thing, not even the same venom. Bee stings are designed as an irritant to drive away intruders/robbers. Your body can learn to handle it. Yellow jacket and hornet stings are nerve poisons to paralyze their prey. It doesn't seem that your body can adapt to this venom, at least not for me... >>> | Photo from Maggie's Secret
