Nelson bee venom
Topical application of bee venom ‘tricks’ the skin into feeling it has been lightly stung – this painlessly and gently stimulates the skin, boosting the production of collagen and strengthening the skin. Bee venom has anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties. We collect our bee venom using an advanced state of the art European bee venom collector. The collector is placed in front of the hive and the bees are irritated with a gentle electrical stimulus and they respond by stinging the glass plate of the collector. However, unlike when they sting the skin, they are not harmed as their stingers do not penetrate the glass and their stingers are not left behind. Our bees then happily continue on with their honey making in the vineyards and fields of our lovely sunny region.
