Can bee keepers give blood

[bee56]

Can you give blood,if you keep bees?.

 

[Queens59]

Umm why not - as far as I know honey doesn't run in my veins yet...

 

[bee56]

I asked for that one

 

[tkwinston4]

You're not serious are you?

 

[justme]

Dont see why not. Venom is used as a treatment in sensible countries and surely no one would have that much in their blood anyway.

Me too slow again, my reply was to the original question, not twinston4's:.)

No because you'll be HIV-e positive

My wife thinks it's all very amusing and I asked for it.

hi ,thats just the very question i ask when i gave blood last week after been stung a few times,and thay said it was ok.

 

[bee56]

Thanks dai for a serious answer to my question, just saves me asking the question in the future. But I do think some of the other answers were also very good

Not in France if you visited or were in the UK when Mad cow pies were being sold, (but that's anyone).

It is a good question, as I suffer from M.E. and was told just before Christmas that I was no longer suitable as a blood donor

 

[For want of a better word]

if you can give blood
PLEASE DO​

Believe me "Bro" that I give blood, sweat and tears every day as a commercial beekeeper.

I have been giving blood for years no problem with the donations. However the Welsh Blood Service do have bigger needles than my bees

the one with the bigger needle is taking your blood, the one with the smaller needle is administering venom

OUCH to both. one saves lives the other kills the matyr

No because you'll be HIV-e positive

 

[bee56]

Just wondered, because on the top of my Donation form it states for baby unit use ?

 

[thepliedes]

A- is the rarest form of blood and is used and greatly needed in baby units and post natal wards for transfusions because of the incompatible rhesus factor. No reason why a beekeeper should not give blood unless complicated by other issues other than looking after bees!

 

[Skyhook]

Bee56, I would have thought there was more of an issue with you being a penguin.
