I cant recommend this, however this is my personal story.
After years as an entomologist and working with bees and many other insects, i was stung one day which was a pretty normal thing, after a while you get so used to stings you dont notice. I think this is particularly true when working with wild strains and colonies in less than ideal situations, particularly trees as i hate heights!
Anyway i received a sting and immediately noticed some pain, slightly odd as i rarely felt them upto that point. I should say I was around 10 years into my career (I think), I remember floating and more pain as i landed and looked up at the tree. Some 2 days later I remember waking in hospital, plaster on my broken arm and feeling pretty rough.
To this day i have absolutely no idea why i suddenly developed extreme hypersensitivity to Bee venom, speculation was rife that maybe having worked with concentrated venom in the lab, i had somehow been exposed to it. I cant see this as we follow strict protocols in the lab and take great care when working with purified or modified venom's.
Anyway I still work professionally with Bees and Bee venom, I dont go near the wifes hives at home. I underwent many courses of being desensitized and none have worked. I carry epi pens for day to day life, while at work we have a full med kit at all times and we have a medically trained member of staff due to some of the other organisms we work with.
In the field we use a Bio tent and strict protocol, I wear extra protection and suiting up or taking it off takes forever! I am sprayed and the tent has a pressure spray system, partly because of my reaction and partly because of bio security reasons. With the kit i wear i think its fair to say i could work with ebola while wearing it!! But for me the options are limited, I love my career and wouldnt give it up, so it is possible to continue, but depending how sensitive you are you have to be realistic. If you are highly allergic and hell bent on continuing then be prepared to spend a fair amount of money on extra protection.
If you are declared hypersensitive and insist on continuing them pm me, but before you do keep in mind to be safe does not come cheap and there are ZERO short cuts. I can give you a full safety protocol we use but i warn you now it is a PITA, there is no days you can be in a rush and skip bits. You will not ever be allowed to work alone, unless you have some exceptional reason to continue i would question if it was worth doing what you will need to do.
That is worse case scenario, the best bit is very few people become that hyper sensitive. But even those who need epi pens often need a well thought out routine and a change in habits, anyone with any abnormal sensitivity should NEVER work alone, having some one 30 feet away in a house is not good enough.

I dont intend to scare monger and as stated i am talking about extreme cases, but even then it dosnt have to stop you working with Bees.
by having my partner drive me to hospital even though it was faster; as soon as a reaction sets in it is better to be horizontal and I did myself no favours sitting up in a car seat for the journey, if we had to travel that way I should have been laying down across the back seat.
