Similarly, I had tennis elbow (probably from gripping supers and lifting
them with one hand) at the time of one of our Annual Meetings. As it
happened, Charles Mraz was our keynote speaker that year and apitherapy was
one of the topics he covered.
When he called out for a volunteer from the audience, I volunteered and, on
stage, he duly marked the central spot with a pen and then stung that X with
a live bee.
It was a great demonstration, but I can't recall that it made the slightest
difference to my tennis elbow.
The sting did hurt, though.
