[QUOTE="Rafter S, post: 1342230, member: 21194"] I don't know about "bee fever", but I do remember that when I went to work for the beekeeper he told me starting out to work bare-handed until I'd gotten 2 or 3 stings, then put on my gloves for the rest of the day. I did that, and after about 10 days (maybe a little longer; it was a long time ago) it was like someone had flipped a switch. I had built up an immunity to the venom. It would still hurt when I got stung, but only for a few seconds, and wouldn't swell at all. Within a minute or two of being stung the symptoms would be completely gone. Back the I'd rather have 5 honeybee stings than 1 from a fire ant. [/QUOTE]
