Exploring the Advanced Therapies of the Hive

Join Trish Thompson at the Alamance County Beekeepers Association for a focused look at the most powerful, and often misunderstood, aspects of Apitherapy. This session will dive into the science behind Bee Venom Therapy (BVT), including how the peptide Melittin can work to reduce inflammation and affect cell signaling. We will review the necessary safety precautions, such as allergy testing and proper stinging protocols, and discuss how to safely source and manage bees for venom collection. The presentation will feature a detailed case study on the successful use of BVT for chronic Lyme disease and provide recipes for supportive products like Propolis Tincture and Salve.
