Bee Sting Therapy - A New Approach

The late Charles Mraz, a beekeeper in Middlebury, Vermont who popularized bee sting therapy in the US for 60 years, said it was reasonable to try bee venom therapy in any clinical situation where nothing else works.

Traditionally, bee sting therapy involved being stung by bees or injected with bee venom in solution. Effective for many people, but painful or inconvenient to access.

However, the development of a new category of therapeutic dietary supplements and personal care products containing melittin from bee venom in honey, capsule or cream form, means sufferers can receive the benefits of bee sting therapy without the pain of bee stings.

The discovery that melittin from bee sting therapy can be enjoyed without stings has made it available to a much wider audience.

Thousands of people have had good results with the active ingredient melittin from bee venom as a dietary supplement or personal care cream over the last six years, as well as in a pet supplement for joint health in aging dogs and horses.

Happy Families director Tim Bickerstaff knows how effective bee venom is from personal experience.

As a teenage athlete contesting the national hammer throw title, Tim damaged his right knee, leading to two knee operations and a permanent weakness which later became stiff in the joint.

Tim began using bee venom for support for his injury.

He stung himself in his arthritic right knee with 1500 bees during a six month bee sting therapy course - and then decided there had to be a better way!

Seven years ago he developed Happy Families bee products - a new category of bee venom products taken as dietary supplements -Honeybalm honey, Honeybalm capsules, and Honeybalm for Pets - or as BV Relief skin cream with emu oil, bee venom and aloe vera. smoothed on sore joints and muscles.
