Beekeeper and bee removal specialist Cindy Bee performs bee sting therapy at her Marietta home on Kelly Holt, who says she suffers from trauma-induced arthritis. Above, Bee holds a bee so it can sting Holt's hand.

Cindy Bee says that venom from the Bee's sting will bring white blood cells to the area and help heal it.
