Joining US military with a "history" of a severe bee allergy?

Hi,I did the following:

Joining US military with a "history" of a severe bee allergy?As my question states, when I was very younger, I was diagnosed with a severe bee allergy. Was I ever stung? No. Do I have an epipen? Yes, but I have never used it. If I get retested, and it is found I do not have an allergy, will it be possible for me to enter ANY branch of the military, even if just as a reservist or guard?
anaphylaxi?
I have absolutley no idea what that is

-Carmal
Don't join the military, all these wars now are stupid and pointless

-James
Don't tell MEPS about this allergy.. Join and wait till reception to tell them.. they'll issue you an epipen and all will be okay.. If you tell MEPS, You'll have to go through a bunch of crap.

-Ashleigh Zayas
Yes, you can. When I went to basic training for the army, soldiers had a yellow patch on their uniform to indicate bee allergy
