🌿 Discover Apitherapy

Healing & Wellness from the Hive

For thousands of years, humans have turned to bees not only for food, but also for medicine. Apitherapy is the practice of using bee products — honey, pollen, propolis, royal jelly, venom, and even hive air — to support health and wellbeing.

This page gives you an introduction to each. To explore deeper science, history, and practical uses, check out the Bee to Zee Apitherapy Guide.

🍯 Honey — Nature’s Sweetest Medicine

Honey is more than just a natural sweetener. Ancient Egyptians used it to heal wounds, while modern studies show it has antibacterial and soothing properties. Honey can help with coughs, sore throats, and even skin health.

When left raw and unprocessed, it retains enzymes, antioxidants, and trace pollen that support immunity.

🐝 Propolis — The Hive’s Natural Antibiotic

Bees use propolis, a sticky resin, to seal and protect their hive. Humans have used it for centuries as an antimicrobial. Research shows it may help fight bacteria, viruses, and inflammation.

Propolis tinctures, lozenges, and extracts are widely available, but quality matters.

🌼 Pollen — A Superfood from the Hive

Bee pollen is packed with protein, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. Long valued as a nutrient-dense supplement, it’s often called nature’s multivitamin.

It may support energy, stamina, and recovery, though some people with allergies need to approach carefully.

👑 Royal Jelly — The Queen’s Secret

Royal jelly is the substance that transforms an ordinary larva into a queen bee. Rich in proteins, fatty acids, and micronutrients, it has long been linked to vitality and fertility in traditional medicine.

Modern studies are exploring its role in immunity, skin health, and energy — but much remains under research.

⚡ Bee Venom Therapy — Ancient and Controversial

For thousands of years, bee venom has been used in traditional medicine for arthritis, joint pain, and even neurological conditions. Today, it’s being studied for potential effects on inflammation and immunity.

Because of the risks — including severe allergic reactions — bee venom therapy should only be practiced under professional supervision.

🌬️ Hive Air — Breathing Wellness

Inside a hive, warm air circulates with subtle aromas of honey, wax, pollen, and propolis. In some parts of Europe, “hive air therapy” involves gently breathing this aromatic air for relaxation and respiratory support.

Though research is still developing, many find it a calming and restorative practice.
