Fran,
        You need to get in touch with Charles Mranz living in Middlebury Vt.
He has thousands of hives and has been practicing Bee Venom Theropy for
many many years. He has a few books going and from what I understand is
willing to share knowledge.  I know of people that cant walk with out BVT.
I am not sure that he is computer literate in that he is I believe in his
70s or80's
