Is there a video available on preventing bee stings?

Question

I'm looking for a safety video for my employees concerning bee stings

Answer 1

You could contact OSHA.

If a bee decides to sting you, it's going to sting you. What you really need is information on what to do after you have been stung, especially if you are allergic to insect stings.

To avoid a sting, stay away from hives. Bees will attack if they feel threatened. Bees have every right to share this planet with us. Stay away from them. If you come across a hive, walk away. Do not try to kill the bee. Bees exude a pheronome that attracts other bees. You will be outnumbered very quickly. Typically, bees will chase up to about a half mile from their hive.

If you get stung, flush the sting with vinegar (it neutralizes the venom). Using a credit card or some other stiff edged card, gently scrape the stinger from the bite. Flush again with water and apply a sterile bandage.

If you experience the symptoms of an allergic reaction, call 911 immediately. People can die from reactions to insect bites. Symptoms include-but are not limited to-itching, difficulty breathing, swelling of the throat, swelling at the sting site and loss of consciousness.

The Department of Agriculture could possibly be able to give you more information.
