Antibacterial properties of honey
Honey contains various antibacterial substances, which can inhibit the growth of different bacteria. It was examined, whether these substances originate from nectar or whether they are added by the bees. The chemical properties of the antibacterial substances were examined, as well as the influence of storage and heat on their antibacterial action.

Harmful Substances in Honey
Honey consumers expect that honey is a pure and natural product. The contamination of honey, compared to that of other hive products is relatively small. Residue levels depend on the chemicals used by the beekeeper and on the bee hive environment. In order to keep honey pure the use of synthetic and toxic chemicals should be kept to a minimum. The best way to keep honey pure is to perform organic and ecological beehive management.

Bee Venom / Allergies
1999 All about Bee Venom and Allergies / English
The bee sting, with its bee venom, causes pain, but has many biological and beneficial effects.
Bees produce venom in their venom glands. New born bees do not sting. Venom synthesis in bees begins after two or three days, while the maximum production rate is reached when they are two to three weeks old. Older bees produce less venom.
