The Secrets of Hope the Honey Bee was the inspiration of Dr Gerry Brierley, a British beekeeper and an 'Accidental Apitherapist' who, after an encounter with blood sucking ticks in the Surrey Hills, contracted near fatal forms of tick borne infections, including Lyme Disease. Dr Gerry now lectures on the subject of Medicinal Apitherapy, including the therapeutic uses of bee venom. This book is not just a story about the honey bees; it is about a struggle for survival and winning through in the face of immense adversity. Hope is the spirit of the honey bee who is sending a message to the world. As the title suggests, this book is about never ending 'Hope'.
