I haven't eaten this but I know some people believe eating honey with bee venom helps arthritis. For those with latex allergy be aware that the bees are 'milked' by stinging through a latex film.

"Nelson Honey and Marketing has been selling honeybee venom mixed into honey in New Zealand for the past 13 years, but companies must seek novel foods approval to market foods or ingredients in the EU if the product in question was not widely consumed in Europe prior to May 15, 1997.
 
The company milks the venom from the Apis mellifera species of honeybee using an electronic system that causes the bees to sting through a latex film onto a glass plate for collection. It is then dried and administered through its Nectar Ease brand of venom-spiked Manuka honey – made from bees feeding on the native New Zealand Manuka tree. The company recommends that the dosage is built up gradually from a quarter teaspoon daily to a maximum of two teaspoons over three weeks, but it adds: “Bee products should not replace medical treatments, the advice being supplement – not substitute.”"

Me neither.
Apparently there are creams with bee venom in aswell which are supposed to ease arthritis - wouldn't touch them with a barge pole!!

Isn't it amazing that as well as our latex allergy we have other things in common.
 
Take care all
