Bee venom is like gold for an Island beekeeper.
Apotoxin, the substance that causes a bee sting to swell is
the latest thing in anti-aging creams.
It's more valuable, gram-forgram than gold, and is said to
be as effective as botox for erasing wrinkles and lines.
Parksville entrepreneurs Alex Fras and Kelly Forrest
developed a proprietary system to produce a superior product, fetching a higher
price.
The product should not to be used by anyone with an allergy
to bee stings.
Their company, Bee U Organics, sells their product online
around the world, for the princely sum of $400 a gram.
"It's 10 times more valuable than gold," said
Fras.
Apotoxin is extracted then put with other ingredients to
make a facial cream. A jar of the cream sells online for $89. Adherents say
they feel their facial skin tightening when they apply a mask, and this reduces
the aging effects of lines and wrinkles…
