Bee Allergy
I was stung by a bee this morning. By my senses -j has all the knowledge- housekeeping was the main problem agitating the bees in the observation hive to their strange behavior. There was a substantial amount of pristine bee pollen accumulated under the hive and there sure are allot of critters who love bee pollen, including the foodites in the health food circles. Whatever the final assessment, not all the bees found their way home last night and are still looking homeless around the hive that J. carried of to a place in one of his other bee yards this morning. During my pre-dawn meditations, one of the lost bees found her way to the scarf I was wearing to balance the chill air. The index finger of my left hand and left her stinger there.
Am I already approaching the 2nd anniversary of the bee mobbing which carried me over the top and into The Beekeeper's Allergy? I still haven't found help with the allergy. Nope, not trusting the current medical knowledge of The Beekeeper's Allergy. I know copy and paste research when I see it. I have edited more technical documents and graphics than I can count. I will take a leap of faith off a cliff before I trust the copy of a copy of a copy of a copy, digital, mechanical or oral.
The symptoms of the sting never got past the swelling of the finger which was stung. Are the symptoms lessening? We see. . .

I hope so.
A cousin of mine was swarmede by wasps as a boy and was told he was allergic for life to any sting of a wasp or bee. He went into the Army, was stung by a couple irritated bees at some point in training, and ... eh. Hurt, swelled, itched, died off. So it may be that systems do recover. I hope so....
My personal research of the current medical treatments of bee and wasp allergies held the identical wording, etc., of copy and paste research that dated back to the earliest printed books I was able to find. I don't trust it, one iota. I believe that bit of "knowledge" is as valid as the pre-penicilan treatments for syphilis.
If I steal from one source, it is plagiarism. If I steal from many, it is research. My research of the current bee allergy treatments turned up all the marks of plagiarism. Originating author still unidentified.
