The word apitherapy is derived from the Latin apis, " bee, " and refers to

the use of injectible bee venom solution or live bee stings, as well as

the use of other bee products, such as honey, beeswax, and royal jelly.

Apitherapists claim that bee venom will reduce inflammation and might

strengthen the immune system. Although the American Apitherapy Society

claims success in treating a variety of illnesses, it seems to be used

most often for arthritis…

These are two websites that sell honey with bee venom in it. One of the sites

explains how the bee venom theory works, even taken internally. I don't use it

(yet, anyway), but I thought it was interesting.
