Bee venom properties

Does anyone actually know where one might track this down here in the States? Has anyone had any luck finding it?

Come on, people, I could use some help here.

Do you really think you can pull the wool over my eyes without anyone noticing?
Absolutely nothing?! 😁

Anyway, mods, don't bother sweating these two posts; feel free to scrub them once someone actually decides to show up.

Have you ever actually tried going down to the IBM headquarters over on Broadway?

No. What could possibly be there? 🤔

It’s basically just a massive honey cooperative, right? They sell everything from honey and honeycomb to propolis, bee feed... hell, they might even carry bee venom or have some expert insight on the whole thing if you ask them.

That’s exactly how it should be done. Thanks. I'll definitely take a look. Do they happen to have their own website or something?

You’ll find it in every single drugstore aisle stocked with honey products. It's in every health food store and local pharmacy you come across. And if you're looking for the real deal—pure, straight from the source—you'll find it at every single bee farm out in the countryside.

Bee venom 🙂

If you look at the quality regulations set by the United States Department of Agriculture, it’s explicitly stated right here:

5. Bee products include: bee swarms, queen bees, honey, wax, pollen, royal jelly, propolis, and bee venom.

Google 'bee venom'... you'll find plenty of fascinating stuff there.

Oh, trust me, the folks over at the United States Department of Agriculture know exactly what’s going on. I’ve heard stories about people failing their certification exams because of some technicality involving "bee venom."

Look, bees don't actually carry venom 🙂

So what happens when a bee stings someone in self-defense? What's being injected through that stinger?

Honey?

So, how does it work where one person reacts to that kind of poison and someone else just... doesn't?

Everyone reacts. Some have a strong response, some a weak one, and some just end up with an allergic reaction.

I asked you earlier—what was the name of that substance again?

allergenic protein

Of course 🙂

It would be more accurate to just refer to him by his chemical composition.

Betty Rivera14 said:Sure, 🙂

it’d probably be more accurate to just call it by its chemical composition.

No—honestly, let's just call it poison. It's safer if someone accidentally gets some on their hands, right? 🙂

So, what’s your take—why is northernfalcon9 asking about "bee venom"? Is he planning some kind of shady business move? 😁

Zachary Walker73 said:So, what’s your take? Why is northernfalcon9 hunting for "bee venom"? Is he planning some kind of criminal enterprise? 😁

No... uh... well... I mean... how on earth did you see right through me, you absolute menace?!

😁 😁 😁

Thanks, everyone. I've heard that this venom is actually quite versatile for various uses. In fact, a friend of mine even suggested it might be good to apply directly to the eyes. What do you all think—is that something you can actually put in your eyes?

Zachary Walker73 said:No... uh... wait... hold on... how the hell did you figure that out, you jerk?!

😁 😁 😁

Thanks, everyone. So, I heard this toxin is actually pretty useful for a bunch of different things—I mean, seriously. One of my buddies even told me it’s good enough to rub right in your eyes. What do you guys think? Is that something you can actually put in your eyes?

I wouldn't know 😳 😁

But hey, what do you reckon, Betty Rivera14? Is it poison? 😁
