Is Bee Keeping Risky In View Of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia?
I have had my adrenal and thyroid glands removed, due to having multiple endocrine neoplasia. I would like to keep bee hives for honey, but am worried that this may be a problem as I am likely to get stung. Can you tell me if keeping bees is a risk to my health. Thank you
