Angry Bees Produce Richer, More Protein-Dense Venom, Study Finds
August 16, 2021
Chemists have analyzed protein diversity in venom produced by Apis mellifera ligustica in the marri (Corymbia calophylla) ecosystem in southern-western Australia.
Bee venom is the most valuable product produced by honeybees, with prices varying from $30.00 USD up to $300.00 per gram, depending on the purity, composition, and / or preparation of the product.
Though widely studied and used in alternative medicine, recent efforts in bee venom research have focused on its therapeutic and cosmetic applications, for the treatment of degenerative and infectious diseases.
