5 Health Benefits From Bees, and 5 That Call for Caution

Only Five?

Oh but there are so many more health benefits from our friends the honey bees products. I do agree with the five you mentioned.....spreading the word and spreading the honey is a good thing!

It was interesting to see how "Propolis" popped up from nowhere however I am really pleased it did.

I have a strong passion for honey bees, honey and Propolis because they were so effective at curing my daughter from asthma and excema when no man-made chemical could!

Of course there will always be sceptics and controvesy about "anything and everything" thats what makes us human!

But it would be nice if we all pulled together and worked as a team just as the honey bees do, because their products are perfection and ours are not!

There has been so much speculation and scaremongering about Collony Collapse Disorder which we have been "told" will be catastrophic for us humans....but....but....all the noise and buzz now is it is over...never really exsisted!?! Oh what to bee-lieve!

Perhaps we can now all breathe a sigh of relief with our polluted air and find another five benefits of bee products and I won't have to re-name my website the history of the health-benefits-of-honey.com!

It is true that pure honey can use as antibiotic. It can be applied directly on open wounds.

Honey has been used as home remedies for numerous ailments among all group of age.

Propolis

I've read studies that say that while propolis does have antibacterial properties, handling it too much can cause contact dermatitis. Think about what goes into propolis: plant resins. Bees do not discriminate among the plants they choose for resins and could, conceivably pick poison ivy and oak along with any other flowering, resinous plant. So what might be antibacterial might not necessarily be safe--or hypoallergenic.

Bee Stings for Finbromyalgia

I have received bee stings from a local Providence doctor who introduced me to "bee string therapy". I suffer from serious FIBROMAYGLIA and after the first couple of stings, and contiuned the process for 2x's a week....I noticed that my oain had been lessend and I was able to accomplish more.

propolis?

I see no mention of bee propolis in the article itself?
