Bee products for better health - C. Leigh Broadhurst

This revised edition of the popular consumer title Health and Healing with Bee Products provides the latest medical research on the health benefits of honey, propolis, and bee pollen. The antiseptic and antimicrobial properties of both honey and propolis have been well documented. Additionally, bee pollen is effective for stimulating the immune system, reducing an enlarged prostate, and protecting the liver. Excellent tips are included to help readers use bee products to prevent common infections, an important strategy now that bacteria are showing increased resistance to antibiotics. The book also covers the latest information on the health of honeybee colonies worldwide and discusses the importance of these colonies to our economy and how these essential but threatened pollinators can be preserved.
