Here is the video that I am scratching my head about.

I don't remember enough immunology from training to confirm or deny.

I am a beekeeper now and I breath in enough bee dander, dust and and particulate matter BUT, in 5 years I have not allowed myself to be fully stung but 2 times and minor stings through the gloves a few more times.....but never full on envenomations.  My wife has been fully stung more than I have as a bee keeper, and my daughter have never really been stung.

Since they are only exposed to antigens on a passive basis, are they being setup for the big "A" some day?

When I do get a taste of a sting through the glove, it hurts of course and swells up a bit and remains sore for a day or 2.

Thank you in advance for considering this post, while I do more research in the meantime
