A sting in the tale. Dr Gerry Brierley tells Chris and Patrick about her long-term enthusiasm for Apitherapy
Apitherapy is a practice that uses the healing powers of honeybees. Gerry first came across it by accident when she became very ill with Lyme disease - a debilitating condition caused by tick bites. Treatment for this disease, in Gerry’s case, involved a lengthy course of bee stings! Her ongoing research has led to further interest in other apitherapy practices such as the use of propolis, pollen and royal jelly. Gerry also writes childrens’ stories and she treated us to some wonderful excerpts from her new book “The Secrets of Hope, the Honey Bee”.
