Honey bees are important creatures that contribute directly to local food production, making them one of the most valuable animals in the UK ecosystem. Numerous initiatives have been launched across the country in order to ensure the conservation and protection of these yellow-and-black insects. Furthermore, the risk of being stung by one if unprovoked is exceedingly low, and incidents are virtually unheard of. However, if threatened, they can sting humans to defend themselves, and those who suffer with allergies can suffer an anaphylactic shock from this, similarly to wasp stings, which can lead to fatalities.
