Apitherapy - From a BEekeeper's Perspective

Book excerpt: This book was written for my students and all those wishing to learn apitherapy while learning how to honor the honeybee, our most important pollinator. This book has sections on Beeswax, Apilarnil, Royal Jelly, N-Chromosome Royal Jelly, Pollen, Beebread, Honey, Honeydew Honey, Propolis, and Bee Venom with a section on stinging for Lyme disease. There are pictures of what the product looks like during the creation and after completion; pictures on removing the stinger for micro and half stings and how to do a full sting; bee venom reactions; spine chart for Lyme, etc. Recipes follow each section.You will learn what the honeybee needs to create the hive products and what part of the honeybee's anatomy is involved in the creation. You will also learn how to sustainably harvest the product from the hive and still allow the honeybee to keep what it needs for its survival.
