		Bee venom promotes a decrease of cholesterol content in the blood, provides a tonic effect for the heart muscle, and decreases blood pressure.
		The Bee venom concentration in one jar of the honey is 6.25mg which equals to half a bee sting in each teaspoon of honey.
		We would recommend the first intake should be half a teaspoon of honey with venom (0.25 sting) taken without food or drink This initial dose is 4 times lower than one bee sting, and is accurately specified in accordance with BV Therapy requirements.

		Feral (wild) honey bee colony numbers have been decimated by loss of habitat, pesticides, infestations of an imported fungus and a mite.
		The mite clogs the adult bee's trachea and the fungus kills the larval bees.
		Within a matter of hours the bees are settled at a new location and scout bees have located pollen sources and communicated them to the hive.

	Russian Honey Bee Earning Its Stripes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		After a harsh winter, it looks to be a honey of a year for a sturdy breed of Russian bee that's helping U.S. apiarists fortify their hives against parasitic tracheal and Varroa mites.
		He is one of three commercial apiarists who've been evaluating the Russian bees since 1999 in cooperation with Agricultural Research Service scientists at the Honey Bee Breeding, Genetics, and Physiology Research Laboratory in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
		After quarantined monitoring on Grande Terre Island, Louisiana, the Russian bees were moved to apiaries at ARS' Baton Rouge lab, where scientists subjected the Russian queens and their offspring to rigorous cycles of breeding, selection, and testing for mite resistance and other desired traits.

		The Commissioner did agree to give MBA $15,000 to be used to develop and/or distribute a video to schools to educate 4th and 5th graders on bees and honey.
		But since Russian bees are also resistant to tracheal mites and are good honey producers and good winter survivors, the program is now focused on producing a stock improved for all these traits.
		Honey buyers will have to make sure the products they buy are pesticide free by submitting samples to the laboratories.

	Science News Online (8/8/98): Russian Queens Bee-Little Mites' Impact
		The first generation of bees produced by 90 expatriate queens, just released from quarantine, has significantly outperformed U.S. members of their species, Apis mellifera, in resisting infestation by varroa mites.
		The Russian queens are fueling considerable excitement among apiarists, says Troy Fore of the American Beekeeping Federation in Jesup, Ga. The cost of treating colonies with the varroa miticide can eat up 20 percent of a beekeeper's gross earnings—or about 80 percent of the intended profit, he says.
		Bees with Russian genes should reduce the need for some or all of these expensive treatments, he adds.

		Within U.S. honey bee colonies, the mite has taken a drastic toll since it came into the country from Mexico in the mid-1980s.
		In the mid-1800s, Ukranian immigrants brought the Western honey bee species, Apis mellifera, to far-eastern Russia, and the varroa mite attacked the new species.
		A. mellifera is the honey bee species in the United States but is not native to this country, having been first brought here from Europe by the early settlers in the 1620s.
