Thanks Jen.  I see why you have your own bees after reading the prices for products on this web site.  :o

No kidding Baker! There are areas within the US and the world where people will pay this price. But to me, that's not what healing is all about. People need to be able to take care of themselves without laying down to the medical industry.

What I wanted to do is help those on the forum to understand the make up of venom. When you take a bee sting, your body already pours forth a truck load of cortisol, the body's own pain relieving mechanism. Then, on top of it, venom in itself is a powerful anti inflamitory agent. So, the sting is like taking 50 Advil right now!
