Apitherapy

Apitherapy is the medical use of honeybee products. This can include the use of honey, pollen, propolis, royal jelly, and bee venom, but most commonly refers to use of bee venom, called bee venom therapy (BVT). Beekeepers have noted anecdotally that bee stings help arthritis. Recently there has been more interest in studying bee venom for other autoimmune diseases. The Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Association of America recently awarded a grant to Dr. John Santilli, an immunologist in Bridgeport, Connecticut, who will be working with consulting neurologist Dr. Jay Rosenberg of Kaiser Hospital in San Diego, California to identify what, if any, neurologic benefits bee venom produces in humans.
