The claim that bees kill more people than all venomous snakes combined cannot be applied worldwide: WHO estimates that snakebites cause about 81,000–138,000 deaths each year. The statistics can look different in the United States: CDC recorded 788 deaths from hornet, wasp, and bee stings combined during 2011–2021—about 72 per year. That is a combined insect category, not bees alone; the period and classification matter. So the old claim may describe a particular national context, but it is false as a general global rule.
