Beekeeping was considered one of the most dangerous walks of life in days of old. A beekeeper would find a tree with a beehive and mark it as his property. But the bees would sting their “owner” just like anybody else who dared lay claim to their riches.

Fortunately, the methods of beekeeping had become less risky by the time when apitherapy was considered to have positive effects on health. Nowadays bee venom for treatment of a number of medical conditions is widely available. From 5,000 to 10,000 patients receive bee venom treatment in the U.S. each year.
Bee venom is a complex mix (50 different components) of a variety of peptides and proteins, not to mention phosphor, calcium, magnesium, copper, formic and hydrochloric acids, fats and amino acids, glucose and fructose, acytilcholine and histamine.
In terms of therapy, the most abundant component of bee venom is melittin, which has a powerful anti-inflammatory action. Adolapine is a more powerful analgesic than a combination of opium and aspirin. Apamine has an invigorating effect on the nervous system, and cardiopeptide acts as a stabilizer for the cardiovascular system.
Bee venom is often administered to those who suffer from arthritis and rheumatic pains. You had enough of that back pain or osteochondritis? Put a bee on the problem part. Bee venom is also claimed to be of use in upset stomach, neuralgias, sciatica, asthma, hypertension, atherosclerosis, and migraine.
Bee venom is used for treating the most precious organ of a male body i.e. a prostate gland. Female patients use it for “stinging” uncomplicated cases of varicose veins and swollen joints.
A Chinese man called Li reportedly overcame his drug dependence by using bee venom. He spent a lot of money and ten years trying to beat his addiction but to no avail. In 1999, he went up to the mountains to live like a hermit. One day he got stung by wild bees. The stings helped him overcome the withdrawal symptoms. Li repeated the use of bee venom every time he felt the onset of malaise. Eventually, he got rid of his addiction for good.
