Product Features
In The Benevolent Bee, beekeeper and herbalist Stephanie Bruneau explores the uses of six products of the beehive: honey, pollen, propolis, royal jelly, beeswax, and bee venom.
Not all new beekeepers realize that a honeybee hive produces a lot more than just honey. While your hard working ladies will produce delicious honey, the hive as a whole also produces pollen, propolis, royal jelly, beeswax, and bee venom; all very useful things for humans, if we know how to use them.
The Benevolent Bee describes how and why the bees make these products, how they've been used by humans throughout the ages, and how beekeepers can harvest the products. It also presents simple do-it yourself recipes for using the products in health and wellness, body care, nutrition, and craft.
You'll learn how to make salves for burns and a cough syrup from raw honey; how to make a tincture, an infused oil, and a mouthwash from propolis, the anti-bacterial "bee glue" that lines the inside of the hive; and much more. Get crafting now, it's all already in your hive!

Great Gift. My sister-in-law is a bee keeper. She has only been doing it a few years and just started working with other bee products besides honey. I gave her this book for Christmas. She read it from cover to cover. She said it gave her some good ideas .
Value of Bees. Reading this book surprised me how much value there is in bee products and that it’s been a great value to many problems of humans. I know some because my wound Dr gave me some honey medication for a wound and it worked wonders.
AWESOME book. I LOVE, LOVE , LOVE this book ! It is exactly what I was looking for.
