      A Little More About Venom Extraction:

      We love our honey bees! In the traditional method of Apitherapy, after the bee stings the individual, the bee sadly dies. First, we harvest the venom by making the bees a little angry so they will sting a glass plate. The venom dries, and is then collected from the glass plate. Don’t worry! The bees get over it, and luckily don’t hold a grudge. The honey bee returns to its hive to produce more delicious honey (and venom)! Our research shows that extracting venom may actually increase pollination! The venom that’s collected is then analyzed by an outside analytical laboratory for quality and potency, thereby guaranteeing a consistent mixture of venom throughout the cream with every batch.

    • Frequently Asked Questions:

      Question: Are honey bees harmed during the collection of their venom?

      Answer: No, because of our unique method the honey bee is not harmed during the collection of their venom. We love bees and are a cruelty free company! Harold believes this venom collection actually invigorates the bees thereby increasing pollination. (It's still a theory at this point, and the research continues.)

       

      Question: I accidentally forgot my jar of Harold's Famous Bee Cream in my car, now it has turned to a liquid form. Can I still use it?

      Answer: Yes, allow the cream to return back to a solid state before applying. (We don't want any burns!) You may notice the consistency has changed - and because the product contains entrained air, the cream will collapse creating less volume. Because of our unique, proprietary formula and mixing method, bee sure to store the product at room temperature and avoid direct sunlight.

       

      Question: What is a Skin Patch Test?

      Answer: We often suggest to perform a skin test with our products as some people are sensitive to essential (plant) oils. When in doubt, test. Apply a small amount of the product to the inside of your elbow and cover it with a bandaid, let sit overnight. The following morning check for any sign of irritation or skin sensitivity.

       

      Question: Should I use Harold's Famous Bee Cream if I'm allergic to bee stings?

      Answer: We suggest that you do not use the product if you are allergic to bee stings or any other product of the honey bee hive, or if you are allergic or sensitive to plant derived oils.

       

      Question: Does Harold's Famous Bee Cream help with arthritis?

      Answer: Harold's Famous Bee Cream is not a medicine or drug and is not marketed for relief of arthritis pain. Although, we do commonly receive feedback from customers who mentioned the product helped to soothe discomfort associated with arthritis.

    • Where It All Started

       

      Harold was living in rural Missouri, a man with a great love for nature and for his neighbors. Friends gave Harold the gift of two beehives and he took up beekeeping as a hobby. As happens to many beekeepers, Harold experienced numerous bee stings. Instead of feeling worse when stung, he was surprised to find himself feeling significantly better - even better than normal. Invigorated, he began to research bee sting therapy, also known as Apitherapy and wondered if he could harness the benefits of the bee venom without sacrificing the honey bee or the inconvenience and pain of the actual sting.

       

      Harold then reached out to Amanda, a friend of his daughters. Amanda had worked many years in the pharmaceutical industry and specialized in compounded medications. Fascinated by Harold’s results, she started her own testing. Finally, in 2015 after years of researching and formulating, the perfect formulation was obtained and Harold’s Famous Bee Cream was born. Since then, the pair have dedicated themselves to bringing the power of honeybee venom to help others.
