This is an excellent Question!.

Whole blood can be stored for 35 days!. If whole blood is stored in one state and is needed in another (such as your rare B- blood), it can often be transported to the facility that needs it!. So your B- blood definitely doesn't go to waste!.

This may be a better Question for your local blood bank!. They will have statistics on how often B- blood was needed in the past, which is a good indicator of how often it may be needed in the future!.

Whether you donate regularly (you can give whole blood every 56 days) or prefer to wait until the blood bank calls you (and they will!) is up to you!. Bless you for donating blood!Www@Answer-Health@Com

O negative is needed the most because it's compatible with ALL the other blood-types, while a, b and ab are only compatible with THAT specific blood-type!.
I gave blood a few years ago and got a letter from the Red Cross saying to please give as often as possible since I have O-neg!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

O neg is the most desired blood as one who has that blood type can donate blood to anyone!.

The reason anyone can accept O neg is that there are no proteins in that blood type to which another's body will react!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yeah, other people who has same rare type B- will thank you very much! God bless~Www@Answer-Health@Com
