Allen Dick had asked for comments on beekeepers with cancer. Yes, I have
recently had to have my prostate removed (dec. '95) due to cancer. I have
been keeping bees for 24 years and have been liberally stung during that
time.
  In our bee association we did do an informal poll and found a lower
level of cholesterol for those that knew it. This poll was based on a
comment made during a presentation on apiotherapy that one of the
components of bee venom could lower cholesterol.
