My husband and I are going on our honeymoon this saturday to San Juan, St Thomas, St Marten.... I am slightly allergic to bees, and do have an epi pen just in case. I was wondering if there are bees in those areas? And should I be taking it? And are you allowed to carry them on an airplane?

I am form San Juan and there are bees there although they are smaller than the giant things you have in the U.S. I have never been bitten in San Juan but more towards the beachy parts.
also not sure about the epi pen but you can probably call the airline and ask.

Over here in San Juan there are bees thought they are very small but still rarely you get bitten by bees

As for the epi pen, your doctor may have to give you a signed letter stating that you have an allergy and have to carry the epi pen. You will show that to the airport officials.

There are bees in every Caribbean country. Where there are flowers there are bees.
