This upcoming Saturday, Mid-Michigan Beekeepers Club is hosting apitherapist Kristine Jacobson to speak at our usual meeting site, the Richfield Township Offices, at 10am.  Apitherapy is the use of products from the hive to aid in everyday health.  Items that Kristine will speak about include honey (believed to be useful in tissue repairing, wound dressing and burn relief), pollen (used to treat common allergies), propolis (a natural anti-oxidant), along with the sting of the honey bees themselves (believed to be useful in treating arthritis and MS).  Kristine was a guest speaker at SEMBA earlier this year, and has since been featured on the Travel Channel.  Her ideas and advice on health and wellness will surely enlighten people on treatments that have been well known in Eastern medicine, but are still considered "folk" remedies here in the States.  Please join us on Saturday, August 22, at 10am for an interesting presentation on this unique aspect of beekeeping!  Admission is free and open to the public, but donations are greatly appreciated!
