Thanks for the information and I will be checking it out @primek. I have to be careful as I am allergic to bees but have been able to get a hold of the manuka oil (which is 100% oil and from the tree) and have put this on a small opening twice and this has healed, I will be continuing with this on the rest of the small holes and by the time the big ones are ready hopefully they will be small.
I am very grateful to this site as I can vent my frustrations and know someone out there is listening and has been through somewhat of the same journey.
Love to you all. xx
