Wonderful bee alchemy: how honey, propolis and beeswax become remedies.

Honey bees are fascinating creatures. They not only give us sweet honey, but also effective remedies for our medicine cabinet. Making your own ointments, honey extracts or beeswax applications will further increase your enthusiasm for bees.

In this book, master beekeeper Norbert Poeplau provides inspiring insights into the way of life of bee colonies. He combines his many years of practical experience in keeping bees according to their nature with findings from current bee research. He vividly explains how high-quality ingredients for remedies are produced and extracted in a way that preserves their quality while taking animal ethics into account.

The anthroposophical doctor Almut Tobis presents the healing properties of honey, wax, bee venom and propolis. Findings from scientific studies on the effectiveness against bacteria or viruses, as a wound healing agent or to strengthen the immune system substantiate and supplement traditional knowledge of folk medicine.

The book describes the possible applications of homeopathic remedies made from Hive Products and tried and tested recipes for homemade home remedies that can have a soothing effect on numerous ailments.
