Hello, I'm going to buy bee venom collectors, who have experience which is best to buy? How is apitoxin culture in ascending way, right now, want to start on time in this niche.
If you find out anything keep us posted. I saw a show where a guy had a collection of extremely poisonous snakes. He milked them and sold the venom. It was unreal what he got paid.
Did you see this post that I answered the other day?
I do not know any info about the collectors available but before you try this, where are your bees located? Miles from any other people or farm animals I hope. At a bee college that I attended they talked about this. The collectors zap the bees with electricity and the bees try to sting the collector leaving the venom on the board. The bees end up beeing very very aggressive. You will have to have full protection to work these hives.
Another problem is if anyone else comes in contact with the dry venom and is not being stung by the bees, they can develop severe reaction to a sting. Your wife washing you suit with dried venom on it can cause this if she does not receive regular stings.

Hi Jim,
my friend collect venom for few years now.
Ofcourse you have to have full protection to work with bees.
I agree that you have to know what are you doing and learn every process about collecting.
They are angryer little more in first few week, but after that they adopt, do their job, and that is it.

That is good to know. A lot different than what the instructor taught us at the bee college a few years ago.
Where do you have your bees located that you use for bee venom? How far away from people?
Jim
