How would I go about making sure I'm not allergic to them???
When ever I have been bitten by a bug or stung by a wasp the area has always blown up like a balloon...I would hate to go to all the trouble of getting bee's then drop dead a few days later lol.
Is there a test at the Dr's or any other advice from the bee keepers people?

Good luck with this one. You should be able to get an immunology test - try your GP as a starting place, they should be able to refer you.
Don't think wasp reactions have anything to do with bee allergies - I have a normal reaction to bee stings (local swelling and short term reaction only) and as I recall, my reaction to wasp sting was rather more unpleasant!
