While it is not my place to question the many people who have appeared at
beekeeper meetings to tell the beekeepers how bee venom therapy did things
like help to minimize their multiple sclerosis symptoms, there have not been
sufficiently consistent results to make bee venom therapy any more than an
apocryphal set of stories.

 

Until this:

 

"Nanoparticles carrying a toxin found in bee venom can destroy human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) while leaving surrounding cells unharmed,
researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have
shown."

 

Press Release:

.and this was back in March.  

Note that bee stings are not used on the patient here.
