Sounds very interesting!! As a woman beekeeper I have to wonder how one will be treated with the venom......maybe I'm already safe for breast cancer????

Best I can tell these experiments were done in vitro, which can be a different ball game than in a real live human being. I hope that the thousands of bee stings I have had may stop me getting cancer, but I doubt it.

Hope they do some more work on this though
