Healing qualities of apiculture products
Apiculture or Beekeeping is the maintenance of honey bee colonies, commonly in hives, by humans.
A beekeeper (or apiarist) keeps bees in order to collect honey and other products of the hive (including beeswax, and royal jelly). A location where bees are kept is called an apiary or "bee yard".
Products obtained from Apiculture :
Honey is defined as the sweet substance, not fermented, produced by bees from flowers nectar or from the secretions over alive plants; bees collect it, transform, combine with specific substances and finally store and mature it in honeycombs.
Propolious : Bees themselves make it by collecting resins of tree species and its mixture with wax in the beehive. It has antiseptic properties, especially in eye infections, eczemas, throat infections, ulcers, diseases of urinary tract, dermatology., etc.
The apitoxine is a product usually used at medicine because of its antiarthritic power and is also necessary for making antialergics. It is produced in the glands placed in the top of the last abdominal segment of the bee.
Royal jelly is specially a protein food (12 %), although is rich on sugars (9 %) and vitamins too. The obtained royal jelly is stored into dark jars and it must always remain in the refrigerator. Royal jelly has an antiinflammatory and regenerating activity.
