Bee Venom Therapy

History of Bee Venom Therapy

Perhaps the most exotic product from the hive is bee venom. Bee venom has been used via bee-sting therapy for centuries in many cultures. Hippocrates and Confucius were familiar with its healing properties.

Eastern countries in particular have employed the curative abilities of bee venom, in fact, large clinics dedicated entirely to bee venom therapy are common in China. Its popularity is rapidly increasing in Europe and North America for the purposes of providing relief to arthritis sufferers and desensitizing those that are allergic to bee stings.

In a movement towards healthier lifestyles and in the reaction to the dangers of modern drugs and their side effects, people are now turning to more natural ways of treating their conditions. Thus the use of bee products are, once again, gaining popularity. The American Apitherapy Society is just one body that has been formed to promote the use of the bee venom therapy. In the past the only way to receive bee venom therapy was through an injection or the actual bee sting. Now with new technology produced by Nelson Apiaries, bee venom therapy can be administered in a much sweeter, less painful way.

History of Nectar Ease™ and Nelson Apiaries

Nectar Ease™ is the Original Manuka honey with bee venom.

Things are buzzing for Nelson Apiaries Ltd., operated by the Cropp family who have been working bees for the past 100 years. The noise maker is a revolutionary new product called Nectar Ease™, the result of a mistake made in Phillip Crops honey shed in 1996. Little did he imagine the impact his error would create worldwide in the field of natural health.

Nectar Ease™ is bee venom mixed with Manuka honey and the process of mixing the two is a world first.

The therapeutic benefits of bee venom have been known for years – bee sting therapy being used for arthritis is recorded as far back as Hippocrates and Galen in 130AD. The treatment still has widespread support in many European countries and China in spite of the unpleasantness of a course of bee stings. Phillip Cropp was familiar with bee sting therapy, but it was not until something extraordinary occurred to a friend who ate his honey that he really focused on the matter. Philip tells the story: “About three years ago, a bloke up the road came in for some honey, which we gave to him. Two days later he was back for more because he reckoned the arthritis in his hands was healing up. I thought he was having me on. The man was delighted that he no longer had to limber up his hands before holding his breakfast utensils each morning. He was sure it was the honey, but it had come from a pail which wasn’t anything special.” Or so Phil thought until he investigated and discovered the honey was different. It had had bee venom with it by mistake. “I wasn’t trying to invent anything. It was just something I did. I knew what had happened but I forgot about it when I gave the honey away.” The discovery led Phil to collect all the information he could find about bee sting therapy and it’s reputed abilities to help arthritis, multiple sclerosis and a number of other problems. Years passed before local demand grew and Phil then began selling direct to the public under the brand name thought typical of the benefit – Nectar Ease™ – sweet taste and relief.
