Boxed in

 

Maybe you are wondering how I get the bees to use for my treatment. Apitherapy (the use of products derived from bees as medicine, including venom, honey, pollen, and royal jelly) is the proper name for Bee Venom Therapy. Many people order bees in the mail believe it or not. There are places that supply bees for this exact purpose.  I have added a few to my resources page. I get my bees from friends of mine who have hives on their property and who also use bee venom for their treatment. You will meet them later.

I want my own hives that I can tend to and use my own bees for therapy, I also want to learn how to make honey and more. But there is a huge learning curve. Today I painted my hive boxes and made them all pretty for my bees. Of course with a little help from Ruthie. Sandhya and I have 21 boxes to paint! We are each having a hive at school for the year and one at her house. We have our work cut out for us.
