What makes a beekeeper in this question? Someone who has just started with their first hive, and yet hasn't had a sting since they were 9 years old on the foot playing on the lawn at grandma's. Or a third generation beekeeper who has had 20 stings a week since the age of 9 helping dad and grandpa with the bees, with daily consumption of honey regular contact with propolis and seasonal tasting of pollen and royal jelly.
Bee venom therapy plays an important part of my health and that of my family. Successful removal of warts, moles, scar tissue, fatigue, eye sight, pain relief etc.
Research done here in Victoria Australia some years ago of a group of mainly commercial beekeepers found very little occurrence of any cancer in current and past members. I'll try to track down the results.
I feel that science is only now starting to be able to understand and measure the ability of bee products. What was once considered as witch doctory can now be confirmed as real.
I probably get more than 20 stings a week average out over the year. Have done for 10 years (since taking over the family buisness). I received irregular stings in the 20 years before that.I'm 47 years old now I'll let you know how I'm fairing in another 50 years, so keep an eye on this forum (or tell your grandchildren to).
