Bees
are often harmless. They typically buzz about pollinating flowers.
However, they can be quite dangerous when provoked or
angered--usually when their hive is disturbed. Once on the warpath,
bees can swarm and sting those whom they consider a threat—and that
could be you.
Bee
stings aren't usually dangerous; however, some people are
allergic to bee stings and, when stung, can experience a
life-threatening condition known as anaphylactic shock. If a bee
swarm attacks you, it won't just be one bee that stings you but
hundreds of them. A healthy adult may be able to survive the ordeal,
but young children and pets could have it worse. The accumulated bee
venom can be quite dangerous for them. Furthermore, bees often target
the softer areas of a person's body which are the eye area and the
face. These are reason enough to avoid bee hives and prevent a
potential bee infestation.
