so you reckon that everyone on this forum has no hives in their gardens, and keep their bees isolated and away from passers by, if we sit at our computers looking for all the risks in this world, we can make anything sound scary and those that do it irresponsible, in fact your reply made me google it, google's great aint it, so in 2010 a total of 2 people adults/children were killed by either bees/wasps/hornets, so directly by bees may have been even zero, but lets say it's 2
in the same year in an "accident" 258 people were killed as passengers in a car, so I presume that because you would never put anyone in a dangerous position intentionally, you do not drive a car, or if you do, you do not take any passengers, as you'd have around 256 more chances of putting them in danger compared to a bee sting, and that would make you even more irresponsible than me wouldn't it
or do you think, that everyone everyday does risk assessments in their heads and gauges if something is safe or not, that includes those of us that keep bees in our back gardens
heres the link I found the info on, crazy some of the accidents that happen, I mean you are around 3 times more likely to die in the bath, than via a bee sting, good reason to stop washing don't you think ??
