About Trish
Founder, Pollen Peddlers Apiary | Bee Venom Therapy Advocate
For over two decades, Trish lived with mysterious symptoms that doctors couldn't diagnose—chronic pain, debilitating fatigue, and cognitive fog. After 26 years of misdiagnoses, she finally learned the truth: late-stage Lyme disease.
With traditional treatments no longer viable, Trish and her husband began keeping bees in 2018. Through a fellow beekeeper, she discovered bee venom therapy—an ancient healing practice using controlled bee stings to stimulate recovery.
Over 30 months of careful protocol, the results were remarkable:
-
Brain fog cleared
-
Inflammation subsided
-
Physical mobility returned
-
Mental clarity restored
This transformation inspired Pollen Peddlers Apiary, a mission-driven sanctuary where healing and advocacy meet. Today, the apiary ships live bees for therapeutic purposes nationwide, helping others discover alternative pathways to wellness.
Trish continues studying apitherapy with dedicated focus, bridging beekeeping, alternative medicine, and environmental stewardship. Her story proves that even in our darkest health challenges, hope can emerge from unexpected places.
