Walter,

>...view of prostate cancer prevalence is that if a man lives long 
enough he'll get it, but probably won't die of it

While I appreciate your input, I think most people would want to do 
something about an undesirable condition.  Radiation essentially 
destroys the prostate so many people seek natural remedies that have 
shown the ability to reverse a disease. 

>>No big deal.  It's nearly universal in old men; not something new 
to blame on pesticides.  Just age.

Its rates have been increasing...  I agree with the folks who say bee 
stings to the prostate area are not *pleasant* but if the alternative 
is dying from the cancer perhaps the discomfort is worth it.  It 
would be to me but I would like to see the results of a well 
controlled study.

PS.  I had a couple stop by the house yesterday to get some honey and 
the wife requested bees for sting therapy.  She brought a small box 
with a sliding plexiglass cover.  I shook a bunch of young bees onto 
an upturned telescoping cover and swept a couple of dozen bees into 
the box with a goose feather.  It was not easy since the bees already 
in the box were trying to come out as I was sweeping new bees in.

Anybody have a more efficient method?  I thought about dumping the 
bees into a dark box with a small hole.  I could put put the partly 
open bee box to the hole and let the bees come up looking for light.  
Anybody try this?
