There is available a homeopathic "medicine" known as Apis Mellifica
        which is an extract of whole bees prepared in alcohol and then
        diluted by many factors of 10 (presumably in water, this wasnt
        clear). This agent was claimed to work for ordinary bee sting
        discomfort, massive allergic reactions and also for long term
        desensitising.
 
        Has anyone heard of this before? Have I misunderstood ? Is it just
        non-substantiated rubbish, or what??

Well, that's how all the homeopathic remedies apparently work, something
is diluted a great deal until only its "energy" is left (not my wording).
 
I have no personal experience, but I wouldn't try the stuff if I were
in the middle of a massive allergic reaction unless I were curious to
see the next world.
