Does sound like she was trying the sort of therapy I originally read about.
She had sessions every 4 weeks for 2 years with good tolerance. The report also says "Previous tolerance to bee stings does not prevent
hypersensitivity reaction

It would be interesting to know what sort of practice was carrying this out, and didn’t they have an antidote ready in case of such a situation
I thought they died too after stinging. So not good for the bees.
My understanding is that the apitherapy clinic isn't registered or monitored in any way. They had administered methylprednisolone and called an ambulance.
