A plotholder at my allotment site has applied to keep bees.
Are there any issues I should be aware of?


Have you asked that plotholder whether he/she is properly insured
against problems arising from other plotholders who might be allergic
to bee strings?


I think you'll find in Law, that to sue someone over a Bee sting is
virtually impossible. Firstly you have to prove that it was one of their
bees, and secondly case law has established that Bees are not owned, they
are just wild creatures to which you can offer a home.
