Honey bees a threatened species ?

As a new Bee Keeper myself I begin to wonder about the importance of the Honey Bee. Forget about those movies that downgrade bees. I've got stung twice in my 3 months of Keeperhood and that's because of beginners mistakes. Since then, none, nada, zippo, zilch, in fact I can work around them like they're not there. How can I get away with this ? Search my website for the answer... http://greenanything.net
