I am with @goldendawne on this one. I don't think I am allergic to honey bees, but I am deathly allergic to yellow jackets. I do everything I can to help the honey bees thrive and will be putting several new patches of flowers in for them as I have time. But I don't think I could tend to them. I can handle rats, snakes, spiders, whatever... doesn't bother me a bit, but bees... (shivering lol)
