Trish Thompson
Founder, Pollen Peddlers Apiary | Bee Venom Therapy Advocate
For over 26 years, Trish Thompson battled unexplained symptoms—chronic pain, extreme fatigue, and persistent brain fog—with no clear diagnosis. It wasn’t until much later that she discovered the cause: late-stage Lyme disease.
When conventional treatments failed, Trish and her husband turned to beekeeping in 2018. Through the beekeeping community, she was introduced to bee venom therapy—an ancient healing method that uses controlled bee stings to stimulate the body’s recovery process.
After more than 30 months following a careful protocol, the transformation was life-changing:
-
Brain fog lifted
-
Inflammation eased
-
Mobility improved
-
Mental clarity returned
This journey sparked the creation of Pollen Peddlers Apiary—a purpose-driven sanctuary dedicated to healing and education. Today, the apiary ships live bees nationwide for therapeutic use, offering others a chance to explore this alternative path to wellness.
Trish remains deeply committed to the study of apitherapy, combining her passion for beekeeping, holistic health, and environmental care. Her story is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest moments, healing can come from the most unexpected places.
