Honey
Flowers nectar is a mixture of sugars and other
minor components collected by bees and
concentrated into honey. Honeybees create a
delicious, viscous substance called propolis. It's
harvested as nectar from nectarines at the
flower's base. Extra floral nectarines, nectar
produced by plant components other than
flowers, are also collected. It can also be
obtained from fruit juice, cane juice, and other
sources.
Uses of honey
Honey is valuable as a food, a medicine, a cash crop for both local and
international markets, and a component of various cultural traditions.
It is a valuable carbohydrate source that includes trace elements and gives
nutritional variety to low diets during times of food scarcity.
Honey is used as a medicine or tonic in many regions of the world, as well as a
particular treat for children. Honey is increasingly being used in modern medicine
for a number of therapies.
Fresh local honey is always more valuable than imported honey as a cash
crop. In communities, honey is frequently utilised as a trade commodity,
particularly in rural locations or areas separated by conflict or sanctions.
Bee wax
Beeswax is the substance used by bees to construct their
nests. Young honeybees make it, which release it as a
liquid from specific wax glands. When worker bees are 14
to 18 days old, they begin to produce wax. When wax
comes into touch with air, it solidifies and creates scales,
which look as tiny wax flakes on the bee's underside. One
kilogramme of wax is made up of approximately one
million wax scales. Bees utilise wax to create their comb's
well-known hexagonal cells, which are a remarkably robust
and efficient structure. The comb cells are used by bees
to store honey and pollen, as well as the queen's eggs
and the development of young bees.
The candle business is the primary user of this
product.
Comb foundation sheets are made with this tool.
Cold creams, lipsticks, and rouges are some of
the cosmetics that include this ingredient.
It's used in the pharmaceutical and fragrance
industries (ointments, capsules, pill coating and
deodorants)
Used to waterproof shoe polish, furniture, and
other items.
Adhesives, chewing gums, inks, and other
products include it.
Uses of Bee wax
Bee Venom
The sting of a worker bee is connected to a
poison sac that stores the venom. A newly
emerging bee is unable to sting because the
sting is not fully chitinized and hence cannot be
inserted. The venom sac also stores a little
quantity of venom. When a bee is two weeks
old, her poison sac has the most venom.
Histamine, apamine, acithinase, hydrochloric
acid, formic acid, orthophosphoric acid, sulphur,
calcium, copper, and magnesium sulphate are all
present in bee venom.
Uses of Bee Venom
Apitherapy, which involves causing bees to sting the patient, can be used to
treat rheumatism.
Rheumatism can be treated with venom administered subcutaneously.
Apitoxin, Vaseline, and salicylic acid (1:10:1) ointment can be administered to
afflicted regions.
It stimulates cardiac muscle contractions, and lowers blood pressure.
Neurosis, endoarteriosis, endoarthritis, and neuragliacan all be cured with it.
As anti-allergents, antihistamine creams or injections are utilised.
Propolis
Propolis gathered by bees from resinous
exudes of tree. In the bee colony propolis is
used for sticking frames, sealing cracks and
crevices but it is a contaminant of comb wax.
Propolis is obtained by scrapping it from the
frames.
It contains resins and balsams 55 per cent,
ethanol and scented oils 10 per cent and
pollen 5 per cent.

Researchers have identified more than 300
compounds in propolis. Mainly forms of
polyphenols. Polyphenols are antioxidants
that fight disease and damage in the body.
Royal jelly
Royal jelly is secreted by gland of nurse bees of the age
of 6 to 12 days when the glands are fully active. It is
very nutritious food and is fed to the young worker larvae
and the queen larva and adult. Royal jelly is milky or light
pale in colour.
It contains proteins 15 to 18 per cent. Proteins are mainly
amino acids It also contains lipids 2 to 6 per cent,
carbohydrates 9 to 18 per cent (glucose, fructose,
melibiose, trehalose, maltose and sucrose) and ash 0.7 to
1.2 per cent. Vitamin A, B and C, iron, copper,
phosphorus, silicon and sulphur are also present.

Bee Pollen
It is collected by pollen trap from ingoing
pollen foragers. Pollen is a rich protein
source for human diet.
Bee pollenrefers to the flowerpollenthat
collects on the legs and bodies of worker
bees. It can also include some nectar and
beesaliva. Pollens come from many plants,
so the contents of bee pollen can vary
significantly. Don't confuse bee pollen with
bee venom, honey, or royal jelly.
Uses of Bee Pollen
Bee pollen may work similarly toanti-inflammatory drugs, according to researchers.
In onestudy Trusted Sourceon rats, scientists found that bee pollen extract
reduced inflammation in rats with swollen paws.
Sourcehave found that bee pollen has very high antioxidant properties.
Antioxidants are naturally occurring chemicals that exist in plant-based foods,
usually those that are red or dark in color, as well as fermented foods.
Sourcefound that in rats, bee pollen helps keep the liver healthy and can even
help the healing process after liver damage.
Bee pollen has antimicrobial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. These properties
could help kill off bacteria and viruses, which causes food poisoning.
