ABSTRACT
For the past 10 years, beekeeping has increased due to a growing awareness of the disappearance of bees since Colony Collapse Disorder. Most of the disappearance of honey bees can be attributed to the use of pesticides. Apitherapy is the science and art of maintaining health with the use of products from the honeybee hive: honey, bee pollen, propolis, royal jelly, and bee venom. We have been beekeeping for the last 10 years. We use every product from the beehive for both personal and patient use.

Sister Mary Joseph nodule or node refers to a palpable nodule bulging into the umbilicus and is usually a result of a malignant cancer in the pelvis or abdomen. Traditionally it has been considered a sign of ominous prognosis. Gastrointestinal malignancies, most commonly gastric, colon and pancreatic cancer account for about 52% of the underlying sources. Gynecological cancers, most commonly ovarian and uterine cancers account for about 28% of the sources.

Quadricuspid aortic valves (QAVs) are a rare but well-recognized congenital heart disease and a cause of aortic regurgitation. The first case was reported in 1862. Since then, there have been about 189 cases reported with advances in echocardiography, more cases are diagnosed by transesophageal echocardiography. Hurwitz and Roberts have classified QAV according to the size of the leaflets. Our case demonstrates 2 different valve classifications based on equal and unequal cusp size. In conclusion, to our knowledge, this is the first case of QAV in identical twins.
