Today we went to Mum-Bees Honey Farm to their new Wellness Hive! Or another name is an apitherapy chamber, or api-houses. What a truly unique experience and a very special place.
A hive where you get to lay there in the therapeutic presence of the best therapist nature has to offer. A specialized environment, where individuals can experience the synergistic effect of a living beehive without direct contact with the bees.
The Vibroacoustic and Sound Therapy from a collective vibration of 250,000 bees, which creates a unique auditory and tactile response. The frequency of a honeybee colony’s hum typically ranges between 200-400Hz, with specific low-frequency therapeutic ranges. Some say this increases the humans energetic biofield by 5x! Low-frequency sound therapy (specifically in the 30-120 Hz range produced during certain bee behaviors) has been shown to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, effectively reducing heart rate and blood pressure.
Api-Air Inhalation (Beehive Aerosal Therapy) this is the most clinically studied aspect of the hive therapy. The air inside a hive is a complex aerosol rich in volatile organic compounds. (VOC’s) derived from propolis, honey, wax, and royal jelly. This has a emollient properties for the respiratory mucus membranes. And can be very nurturing and nourishing to the lung tissue.
Systemic reviews indicate that inhalation of bee products is effective in improving asthma symptoms in both human and animal models.
Lastly, the psychophysiological benefits of therapeutic hives are often used to address modern stress related conditions through a “biophilia” approach - reconnecting with nature. There have been studies conducted on college students and older adults suggesting that proximity to hives and bee keeping activities improve emotional wellness, mindfulness, and social connectivity. As well as folks who use “Apitherapy Pods” frequently report, improve sleep, quality, and deep relaxation, likely due to the combination of aromatic compounds and rhythmic sound.
