Abstract

The potential that honeybees hold to help treat or even cure chronic illnesses should not be overlooked. The venom from honeybees (Apis mellifera) includes enzymes and amino acids that can greatly affect different ailments. There has been research done in both in vivo and in vitro environments to determine if a direct bee sting or some type of injectable form of the venom can potentially treat several complications. There is an ongoing debate of whether it is morally acceptable for bee venom to be injected in the testing process of developing a plausible treatment option. With properties such as anti-protozoan, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer in it, the revolutionary discoveries that can come from bee venom therapy are endless.
