But my first line of defense is an Epinephrine Pen.

Available only on a Doctors prescription. A life saver for any type of anaphylactic shock. 

I recently read in a US newspaper that some major Pharma company has locked up the rights to Epinephrine Pens and has tripled the price over the last six months.

When I was a kid, my family had a summer camp "up-country"  Our closest neighbor was opening his cabin in the spring and disturbed a hornet's nest located behind a closed shutter. He died in his car as he tried to get himself to a doctor.

I think the human body reacts different to bee stings. I know that if you are being stung 4-500 times by a swarm of bees it could kill anyone .  Hiding under a tree is not a good idea. Just run and keep the body moving as much as possible , if you see a lake or river jump into it.
