What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Local organic honey in the United States is kind of a scam. This is the problem with local bee products. You buy organic blueberries, those blueberries are staying put. The bees are flying. The bees are going to forage. So they're going to move around and they're going to get exposed to whatever is around them. So I will not give my family local bee products. So what should we be doing when we first start getting that itchy throat rundown feeling? First thing you do, you want to spray Propolis in your mouth. How we get sick is we're breathing in air particles from other people who are carrying bacteria or viruses. If we're spraying Propolis in our nose, spraying Propolis in our mouth, we're creating a barrier.
We're creating a defense system and we don't have to get sick.
Is local organic honey actually a scam? Today, we're exposing what most people don't realize about the honey industry, immunity, antibiotics, and the natural medicine industry with Carly Kramer, the founder of Beekeepers Naturals. She's a beekeeper, health advocate, and entrepreneur who built one of the fastest-growing natural medicine brands in the world. She started Beekeepers Naturals after her own health crisis with chronic tonsillitis and now sells one bottle of Immune Support Propolis Throat Spray every 15 seconds. I had no idea until this interview how influential bees are to all of the food that we eat and how the pesticides that we are continuing to spray in the U.S. are impacting our food, our honey, our bees, and our immunity.

You shared that chronic tonsillitis was the beginning of your health journey. Do you think that most of us are removing tonsils and we shouldn't be? I don't think it's necessary for everyone. I think there's different solutions. And I think that people just don't know the basic hygiene for their immune system. There's this thing called propolis that the bees have been making for thousands of years that humans have been relying on forever that can completely modulate reset and affect our immune system and there are not just tonsillitis but tons of things that people are probably suffering with that they don't need to be so when our tonsils are inflamed what do you think they're really trying to communicate to us it's an immune response so in certain situations if there's
an infection. I think it's totally fair to get your tonsils removed. But I think in a lot of situations, it's the immune system needing to be reset and it's the immune system needing to be supported. Starting to use Propolis on a daily basis, I was able to totally reset my immune system. I now use it on a daily basis. It's been years. I started beekeeping in 2012 and I still have my tonsils today and I have not had tonsillitis since I started working with the bees. You had tonsillitis. You learn a lot about the immune system in this time. And then are you also working in finance as all of this is happening? Not yet. So I started beekeeping in 2012. I was still in college. And yes, I was studying, but I was able to really focus on the bees, focus on my immune system.
I was doing a lot of chemistry courses at the time. So I was able to bring the stuff I was learning in the apiary into the lab. And I was kind of creating this product line for myself. But it was a really... authentic experience because I wasn't looking to start a big company or make some career transition. I was literally just thinking about how can I heal myself and how can I work with these incredible creatures that have so much potential to change our health. So when did you decide, okay, I think I need to walk away from this high achieving finance career to literally focus on bees? So after college, I went into finance.
