Estimated cumulative bee-related U.S. ER visits, 2001-2025

This current cumulative estimate extends the published national bee-specific annual average through the latest completed calendar year. It does not come with public case files that can be plotted or reconstructed one by one.

The detailed records below are the individual incidents Honey Bee Awareness has been able to reconstruct from public sources with enough information to show what happened, where it happened, the outcome, and the response.

The underlying national study covered nonfatal, unintentional, non-work-related ER cases only. It does not include fatal cases, work-related cases, or incidents that never resulted in ER treatment. See the national U.S. bee-injury data and calculation.
