Melissa Bees – Pollinating the Earth with Gardens and Hives
I hate to say it, but after twenty-plus years building gardens- my body is feeling it! You could say its closer to thirty years of physical labor- as when I was a teenager I played competitive tennis- serving, returning and chasing down balls on the court. Tennis, construction work and gardening are notorious for wreaking havoc on joints and muscles. After almost ten hours of pruning and planting in a garden today, my hands and elbows were stiff. As I was driving home from the job site my joints were beginning to argue as they couldn’t find a comfortable resting spot – too much pressure on the wrists hanging from the wheel, or circulation getting cut off from a bent elbow leaning on the armrest.
When I got home I took an invigorating shower with Dr. Bronner’s ‘All One!’ Peppermint Soap, wrapped up in a comfy robe and massaged Bee Pharm’s Bee Venom+Herbs Joint +Muscle Rescue into my forearms, elbows, wrists and fingers. Immediately I felt the warm halo-like glow of bee venom and stimulating herbs bringing blood flow to the area. You can see the pinkness in this fuzzy picture of my arm, and if you look closely, the line where the application ended: 
I really love this stuff. It comes in a handy little container and is easy to apply. Whenever I wake up in the morning with a crick in my knee, elbow, neck or finger I rub Bee Pharm Joint and Muscle Rescue where it hurts and the pain is magically transported away within minutes! No need to stick your hands in a hive to receive the healing benefits of a bee sting, just rub this balm directly on your skin. If you work with your hands in a trade of some kind, are into sports, or work at a computer – give it a try, you’ll be amazed with the relief you get.
