Dear![]() Use Honey for Sustained Energy![]() I simply fill my small water bottle with our Wildflower liquid honey or dilute several tablespoons of raw honey into my water bottle during activity. No need for sugary carb gels or drinks such as Gatorade which is simply table sugar, a pinch of salt and chemical food coloring! Read more

Bee Pollen Chews - New Size!![]() The chews make a great snack as well! I keep some in my purse or pocket and pop one or two when I'm on the run. I also use them during exercise as they make a great 'energy' chew that doesn't get me all sticky or cause my blood sugar to drop. View our Pollen Chews

Beat the Heat With Propolis![]() And now research has discovered just how useful these antioxidants in propolis can be for active people. These compounds may be able to protect you from overheating according to an article in the Journal of Food Science. An active ingredient in propolis known as caffeic acid phenethyl ester, or CAPE, has a broad spectrum of biological activities including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiviral. Heat stress is considered to be the main factor underlying the early fatigue and dehydration seen during prolonged activity in the heat. Researchers examined the blood from 30 competitive cyclists who exercised in hot temperatures. The lead researcher stated at the conclusion of the study that CAPE (one of the powerful compounds in propolis) might not only promote athletic performance but also prevent injury secondary to endurance-exercise-induced heat stress.

Do you have arthritis or joint pain?![]() Honey bee venom contains at least 18 active substances. Melittin, the most prevalent substance, is one of the most potent anti-inflammatory agents known (100 times more potent than hydrocortisol). Adolapin is another strong anti-inflammatory substance found in bee venom, and inhibits COX-1 & COX-2. We now have a bee venom ointment available for topical application. Great for pain management, arthritis and even MS. For the month of August, save $5.00 per tube. View our bee venom ointment
