Review
a fascinating book...full of home remedies, recipes, bee wisdom, fascinating facts and beekeeping tips, and so lovingly photographed that it really belongs on the coffee rather than the breakfast table --Mail on Sunday YOU Magazine
A charming and informative book...It's the perfect introduction to beekeeping and a good read for all honey lovers. --Lindsey Bareham, SAGA Magazine
Gloria's love and in-depth knowledge of bees is truly astounding she is one of the last true enthusiasts. The academic profession should pay more attention to enthusiasts like Gloria, be they astronomers, ornithologists or beekeepers. These people have a wealth of practical and observational knowledge, which can only be guessed at by so-called experts. This book superbly illustrates this truth.'--Professor Milton Wainwright, Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, University of Sheffield
'To ease a sore throat, stir a spoonful of honey and a teaspoon of cider vinegar into a mug of hot water and sip slowly, says beekeeper and biologist Gloria Havenhand, author of Honey: Nature s Golden Healer.'--Sainsbury's Magazine
'Gloria is commonly known as the Queen Beekeeper because her encyclopaedic knowledge is built on 26 years of experience of running what could be described as a bee empire two bee farms, and millions of bees who live in red wooden hives which nestle in the glorious Peak District countryside of Derbyshire. 'Honey:Nature's Golden Healer' is beautifully illustrated and packed with easy home remedies, facts about bees and beekeeping, recipes and wisdom about honey that she's scrupulously ensured is backed by scientific proof wherever possible. She also travels Britain lecturing on bees, giving the proceeds to the Sheffield Children's Hospital, which will also benefit from a percentage of the royalties from the book.' --Irish News

Product Description
There is growing evidence to show that honey is hugely beneficial to our health, from its antibacterial properties to helping relieve hay fever to even inhibiting the growth of cancer cells. Drawing on her background in the biological sciences, Gloria Havenhand reveals how we can harvest the beehive for anything from reviving tonics to beauty treats. Not only does she demonstrate how honey is essential for healthy living, but tackles other under-appreciated and lesser-known bee products such as propolis, a sticky resin, which can help skin conditions such as psoriasis; pollen used to relieve hay fever and boost the immune system and royal jelly and beeswax uesd in cosmetics to rejuvenate the skin. With increasing numbers of people interested in ditching drugs for natural alternatives to combat health problems from allergies to acne, this book is a timely look at how the beehive can help us look and feel better.

Format:Paperback
Just released, is a staggering and beautifully illustrated new title on honey bees and their capability to radically improve the health of every individual. Written by Gloria Havenhand and Published by Kyle Cathie Ltd, Gloria takes us into the wonders of the hive,to the product we all know so well--or do we?
Here is an inexpensive book that will open your eyes to benefit your health in a natural way,rather than indulging in the pill popping life that we accept today. The remedies of honey will amaze you--they do me.I personally, insist on raw bacterial honey from Medibee. It can be used for wounds,burns,gastric ulcers,irritable bowel syndrome,thrush,constipation,eye infections,hay fever,coughs,colds and sore throats.These are among the very many conditions from which we can all benefit by taking quality honey and its related products.Did you know that your heart rate will reduce as well as your blood pressure?Your rheumatism will ease and as we age,our memory loss and energies are revitalised. These are but a few of the listed items of health benefits from honey written by a professional who knows her subject.Above all honey is a delight to take and inexpensive relative to the long term health advantages it provides.
I commend this book to anyone who takes their health seriously. A fine read

This is the most informative book on bees, to my mind, ever written. The lady certainly knows her stuff.
The photographs in book are colourful and amazing.
I was also surprised to read that much of the honey on supermarket shelves contains very little goodness. I was taught as a child to the believe that honey was the ultimate healer.
I am producer of 'Wild Rose Russian Ice Stars' a famous ice show that has toured the world and I have strongly suggested my company of skaters take this golden, energy giving healer
Well done Gloria Havenhand for writing such an informative book.
I salute you

Format:Paperback
This exquisitely presented book is educational, informative and inspirational. As other reviewers have said, what comes through here is Gloria Havenhand's awe-inspiring knowledge of bees, their lives and products, she clearly lives their lives with them and loves them utterly. I too grew up with the idea that honey was not only good for you but also had all sorts of healing properties, but until I read this book I realise I knew nothing at all! this book has inspired me not only to start to take bee products - and by that I mean the real raw thing - very much into my life but also to recommend them to others. I shall also be giving this book for Christmas to everyone I know. Thank you, Gloria Havenhand, for opening our eyes to this amazing phenomenon. Please write more!
