Consuming raw, locally harvested honey is like getting a natural allergy shot.
any pest control company can kill them.
“Generally, bees won’t sting for no reason,” Fisher clarified.
“If you get stung by a bee you are either too close to the
hive and they are defending it, or you stepped on them in the
sand. While bee removal is not a service provided by Treasure
Coast Beekeepers, some members will independently
remove bees. We have a request page on our website at www.

Everyone loves the sweet taste of fresh Florida honey and
the state is third in honey production in the United States.
Local raw honey is known to be a powerful antioxidant
and contains bee pollen and propolis, substances produced
by bees that have been used medicinally by humans since
ancient times.
The Farmer’s Almanac states that eating unfiltered, unheated,
raw honey produced within a 50-mile radius or less
is like receiving a natural anti-allergy shot. It stabilizes the
cell membranes that release histamine, which triggers allergic
reactions. It also contains bee pollen and bee propolis which
boosts the immune system and builds immunity to allergens.
It also can be used topically on minor burns or scrapes as a
natural antiseptic, as a cough suppressant, for sunburn relief
and to mix with protein powder for a healthy sports drink to
replace electrolytes.
