Bee venom is a natural substance produced by honeybees and other bee species. It is primarily used for defense against predators. The venom contains proteins, enzymes, and peptides that can cause pain and inflammation when injected into the skin. In addition to its role in nature, bee venom has gained attention in alternative medicine. Some people believe it may have therapeutic properties, such as reducing inflammation and aiding in the treatment of certain conditions. However, scientific research on its effectiveness is still ongoing, and caution is advised due to potential allergic reactions.
