Walter, >...view of prostate cancer prevalence is that if a man lives long enough he'll get it, but probably won't die of it While I appreciate your input, I think most people would want to do something about an undesirable condition. Radiation essentially destroys the prostate so many people seek natural remedies that have shown the ability to reverse a disease. >>No big deal. It's nearly universal in old men; not something new to blame on pesticides. Just age. Its rates have been increasing... I agree with the folks who say bee stings to the prostate area are not *pleasant* but if the alternative is dying from the cancer perhaps the discomfort is worth it. It would be to me but I would like to see the results of a well controlled study. Waldemar PS. I had a couple stop by the house yesterday to get some honey and the wife requested bees for sting therapy. She brought a small box with a sliding plexiglass cover. I shook a bunch of young bees onto an upturned telescoping cover and swept a couple of dozen bees into the box with a goose feather. It was not easy since the bees already in the box were trying to come out as I was sweeping new bees in. Anybody have a more efficient method? I thought about dumping the bees into a dark box with a small hole. I could put put the partly open bee box to the hole and let the bees come up looking for light. Anybody try this? ****************************************************** * Full guidelines for BEE-L posting are at: * * http://www.honeybeeworld.com/bee-l/guidelines.htm * ******************************************************
