  9. What is Bee Venom? • Bee venom is a complex composition of enzymes, proteins and amino acids. • It is a colorless clear liquid, with a sweet taste and a little bitter. • It is soluble in water, insoluble in alcohol and ammonium sulphate. • If is comes in contact with air, it forms, opaque or grayish-white crystals.

Antibacterial activities of bee venom, propolis, and royal jelly produced by three honey bee, Apis mellifera L., hybrids reared in the same environmental conditions Annals of Agric Sci., Moshtohor, Vol. 45, No. 2: 895-902 pp., 2007. Khaled M. Attalla , Ayman A. Owayss and Karem M. Mohann There Gram (+) bacteria; Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Listeria monocytogenes and two Gram (-); Escherichia coli and Salmonella enteritidis were used • Bee venom seemed to be the most active followed by propolis then royal jelly. • Gram (+) bacteria was more sensitive to these products than Gram (-) ones. • The use of these, natural, cheap and safe bee products as alternative food preservatives and in some pharmaceutical application is promising,

Sung-Won Park et al., Altern Integ Med 2013, 2:10 Antimicrobial activities of honey bee venom against pathogens isolated from clinical bovine mastitis in Korea • In this study, the concentration of three major active components had a little frustration among three venom products, • It was clearly demonstrated that the honey bee venom inhibited the growth of seventeen gram positive bacteria strains and two gram negative strains isolated from bovine mastitis in Korea. However, the pore forming on cell membrane wasn’t observed by using bee venoms and sensitive gram positive bacteria.
