Venom Therapy

Ok, so when you have aches and pains, who do you go to? The doctor? Your chiropractor? Bet you never would have thought of going to a bee farmer, have you? Maggie Wachter, a bee keeper in Urbana, Illinois knows bee keepers who raise bees, not for money making opportunities, but for arthritis conditions. There is something in the bee sting that relieves joint pain. This is called venom therapy.

“Venom therapy is when you take a bee and actually make it sting you. There’s something in the venom of the bee that soothes joint pain and I know at least one bee keeper who does it, not for the honey, but uses it for his arthritis,” Wachter said.
