Rudy, I really dont think their is anyone in this debate that would send any child out into a playarea we knew was suffering from a bee plague! The mere thought of it is horrifying but got me thinking of all the stings and bites that i have treated over the years (aprox 13 now) and i honestly dont think there would have been 10 (in fact i have never treated a bee sting at all!) - grazzed knees on the other hand the number would be more like a 1000! The only broken bone that i have seen was when i was a student (not a paid care giver) and one of the children got his shoe! (a big gym shoe at that!) caught in the scrabble net - falling backwards and broke his coller bone. I honestly think it depends on where you are - what the climate is like and what is considered socially acceptable i remember spending almost my whole childhood barefoot - running about outside with the bees and bugs and every other kid in the street.
