Here come the stingers!

Sometimes I think that the only things in the world who enjoy my garden as much as I do are the bees and wasps who hang out there. Don't let a bee or wasp sting ruin your fun this summer. Be prepared by keeping Apis on hand to bring immediate relief from the stinging, swelling, itching, redness, and discomfort.

Be prepared!

Keep Apis close by to treat stings.

Apis
other names: Apis mellifica, The common Honeybee

For those of us in the northern hemisphere summer is arriving and with the warm weather comes bee and wasp stings, mosquito bites, ticks, and a plethora of other critters which may not take kindly to us. Apis is the front line remedy for the homeopathic treatment of bee stings and similar injuries. It's especially handy to keep on hand if you have children in the house. Apis is also an excellent choice for animals in the same situations as well.

Apis can also be very useful in other injuries or painful conditions which are marked by stinging, burning, itching, redness, and painful swelling.

WARNING !!!!!!

IMPORTANT : For persons with a bee sting allergy - DO NOT DELAY in acquiring immediate medical attention. Apis can be given concurently with use of an EpiPen. Allergic persons who are stung should be taken to the nearest Emergency Room as soon as possible - Apis will not stop an anaphylactic reaction!

I couldn't make it through the summer here without Apis

THIS came out of my dog's house last year........

One of about a dozen wasps' nests that I had to remove from the property - after most of us had been stung at various times before (nasty little things, those evil wasps!)

Hey Gardeners!!

Keep a tube of Apis with your gardening tools for instant treatment when you need it. It works really well for pricks from thorns too.

When to use Apis



Stinging pain - like a hot needle stuck in the skin

The injury may appear "shiny" from the swelling

Stinging accompanied by burning and itching

Do any of these ever happen to you?

Some common uses for Apis

Stinging insects

Fire Ant bites

Burning sensation from a bladder infection or UTI (if the remedy Cantharis doesn't work or isn't available)

Pain from injections

Burning or stinging from a yeast infection

Stinging pains in the perineum after childbirth

Painful, stinging hemorrhoids

Stinging, burning, raw skin from diarrhea

Pain associated with boils

Sharp pain from tonsillitis which is worse from warm drinks.

Raw, stinging pain from cuts, scrapes, and abrasions (it's great for "road rash" from bike crashes!).

Bees vs Wasps

Do you know the difference?

The main difference between Bees and Wasps is that Bees feed their larvae on 'honey' a mixture of pollen and nectar, whereas Wasps feed their larvae on meat, mostly paralysed arthropods (the exception that makes this rule are the Pollen Wasps Masarinae). The Wasp paralyses its prey rather than kills it, this is so that it will not rot before the larvae gets a chance to eat it. If you get to look at them under a microscope you will see another more taxonomically sound difference, i.e. Bees always have some, often many, 'plumose' or 'feather-like' hairs, these help in collecting pollen; Wasps always have only unbranched hairs like you and me.

Most bees die after they sting, leaving their stingers behind. Wasps can sting over and over again.

The most noticeable difference is that, side by side, a wasps' body is longer and thinner and may look as if the lower half of it's body is almost unattached in relation to a bee's fuzzy and somewhat chubby shape.

A Handy Tip For You

Apis can help relieve the stinging pain after vaccinations. It works really well - especially after a Tetanus shot (ouch!).

What to buy

For the home or first aid kit I recommend keeping on hand a bottle of Homeopathic 30c Apis - give 3-4 pills or tablets at onset of the situation. Apis is a common remedy available from several different manufacturers in the US. You can order online, or pick it up at your local health food grocers or homeopathic pharmacy.

Homeopathic remedies are regulated by the US Food and Drug Association (the FDA) as Over-The-Counter Drugs. They are not herbs or supplements. All Hyland's and Boiron remedies (the 2 largest manufacturers in the US) carry a National Drug Control (NDC) number.
