I have some advice, relevant in these adversarial times:
1) Don't give any opinion as to whether or not bee stings might have any
effect on MS ( or cancer, or arthritis, etc.). You may be charged with
practicing medicine without a license (unless you are a licensed
practioner, that is.)
2) Remember that some people may have severe allergies to bee stings
(some without even knowing it), and a single sting might kill someone.
Are you prepared for the consequences of this?
I personally will not supply bees for apiotherapy, nor will I give tours
through my yards, even though I have often been asked for both.
