Anybody had success with apitherapy?

I suspect it MAY be helpful for people with an auto-immune component, but my immune system is UNDER-active, not over-active, and I'm pretty sure chronic EBV is what is keeping me from healing... so I'm thinking it probably won't help me?

I'm also concerned because last time I got stung by a bee my throat felt itchy and like it might be closing up a little, so I wouldn't do it without having an epi-pen at the ready.
