        Hello dear Thom and Bee-L friends,

    One possible use for these special types of honey is the medicinal one.

    You need:

a) to prove through pollen analysis that your honey is really what you think
it is; sometimes the organoleptical characteristics may not be enough;

b) to be sure that it contains as less as possible residues (antibiotics,
pollutants etc.);

c) to ask the help of a local apitherapist (see details on the American
Apitherapy Society's site:

        www.apitherapy.org/aas );

d) to speak with a good local MD, ND, Ayurveda specialist or any other
health practitioner which respects your work, the bees and the surrounding
Nature...

e) to read as much as possible on the honey's general healing properties;

f) to read as much as possible on the healing properties of your local bee
plants (in this case blueberries and blackberries);

g) to learn what are the best ways to administer honey for healing purposes.

        Hope this helps!

        Sincerely yours,
   Stefan Stangaciu (MD, LAcup.)
