Renate Kubitza - Bees and Honey and Feeling Much Better!

Spring, for most people is the most wonderful time of the year. But, not all. For many, spring is a season of suffering. It means sneezing, sore watery eyes and general discomfort. In other words, hay fever. And, as Renate Kubitza knows very well, there is not much one can do except suffer! But now, and thanks to a tip from a friend, things have changed for the better.

All Renate had to do, she was told, was to take honey! A spoonful each morning. And, it worked. Her hay fever began to get better. But, there was just one little thing. The honey, if possible, had to be local. And, for Renate that was no problem. Finding a bee-keeper in her vicinity was easy. And, now she's a regular customer.

But, of course, honey is good for other things, too. And, number one on the list is energy. So, if you're feeling run down or just suffering from spring, go out and buy a jar of fresh honey. It has not only helped Renate, but many other people, too. So, why not put yourself next on the list. You've got nothing to lose. Make spring, once again, the best time of your year!
