Chapter 4. PRODUCTION OF HONEY BEE THERAPEUTIC PRODUCTS

The honey bee therapeutic products may be : natural products of the hive (when taken with some regularity, in certain doses, for therapeutic purposes), already standardized honey bee therapeutic products or dietary supplements - combinations in different proportions of various bee products or of some extracts therefrom, where can be also used solubilized plants, fruits, seeds, vitamins, minerals etc.

As I said, the apitherapy can not be confused with the regular consumption as food, of the various bee products that fall within this category. However, many bee products, managed rhythmically, even in the condition in which they were harvested, may have a significant therapeutic potential (such as the different varieties of honey, monofloral or polyfloral pollens, bee bread and so on).
