“Do you know that bees, wasps and
ants kill far more people in the United States every year than all other
venomous animals combined – including snakes? They are also the only creatures
likely to kill you quickly and a bee sting can happen anywhere – not just out
in the wilderness! Do you and your employees know how to respond to save a
life?”
