Abstract– The medical application of honeybee products, such as propolis, honey, pollen, beeswax, honey, and, most importantly, bee venom, is known as apitherapy. This research reviewed bee venom and its potential therapeutic uses. Since ancient times, traditional medicine has employed bee venom therapy, which involves applying the venom to cure a variety of diseases. A number of physiologically active peptides, including melittin (a major component of BV), apamin, adolapin, mast cell degranulating peptide, and enzymes (phospholipase A2 and hyaluronidase) as well as non-peptide components, like histamine, dopamine, and norepinephrine, are found in bee venom, which is produced by the venom gland located in the abdominal cavity. Bee venom offers therapeutic properties against a range of ailments, including skin conditions, disorders of the neurological system, heart and blood irregularities, and arthritis. Additionally, bee venom has been employed extensively in the past several years to treat tumours as well as a number of immune-related illnesses. Research needs to be done further to determine the precise component and intended action of bee venom therapy in order to take advantage on its promising potential.
