> I'm not clear as to why the doctors would conclude that arthritis in a group of beekeepers up to 66 yrs of age was due to bee stings.

Hi all
I was unable to get more than just the abstract of this odd report. Really, I just posted it because it seems to support the contention that being stung does not prevent arthritis. As we have said before, "arthritis" comprises a variety of joint ailments, some mechanical and some immunological. This is just one example of a study that focuses on beekeeper ailments. Like I also said, I always assumed bee venom was "good for me." Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.
