What Are Apiceuticals?

The term Apiceuticals refers to the evidenced based therapeutic potential of substances collected by the honey bee within its local environment and transformed into those complex products we know as honey – propolis – pollen but which have been used as medicines for thousands of years.

The Growth In Apiceuticals

The last 50 years have seen an extraordinary growth of research into the medicinal properties of a range of products from the beehive - Honey, Royal Jelly, Pollen, Bee Venom Therapy and Propolis. Those products which have shown proven benefit for human beings have come to be collectively termed Apiceuticals.
