“Gun Death” Bees

Even with protective clothing you are NOT safe!

An amateur beekeeper with a 6-year-old son has died after what appears to be a fatal allergic reaction to 40 stings.

April Taylor was wearing gloves and a beekeeping veil when she was stung by some of the bees that she kept in her family’s back yard in Willard, Utah.

Those precautions did not cover her entirely, however, as many beekeepers regularly wear full suits and high boots to insure that they are entirely covered when they interact with the insects.

Sad story! We could prattle about not NEEDING to keep bees (but how else would we have honey?) but really this is just another person who didn’t die because of guns!

Why do only “Gun Deaths” count?
