Bee venom, as the name suggests, is made from bees. When you are stung by a bee, it is painful because of the poison. As much as it is called venom, it is actually used for health benefits that is, and it has medicinal value. There is a difference between bee venom and bee pollen, so do not get confused by both of them. Bee pollen is derived from other members of the same bee insect order. Bee venom therapy is used to treat different conditions.

How can one collect it? There have been ways that have been used to stimulate the bees to sting. The most common one that has always been used is the electric shock technique. A collector device is used that is made of wood which is placed at the entrance of these hives to get it when the bees release it after it has been shocked.

Is collection of this product dangerous to the bees? No its not. After collecting it, they are left alive and can actually produce more of it. In the old days, the bees died because the methods used did not favor the bees which was around the 50s, but nowadays safer ways have come up that leave not more than ten bees per hive.

How is its preparation done? There is one very simple technique that has always been used since way back. All you have to do is have a microspore filter and a saline isotonic solution. Dissolve it in the solution then pass it through the filter. There is a risk though, you might end up destroying important components of this toxic product.

How is it supposed to work? It is normally given as a shot. Controlled doses of it are not poisonous but too much of it can be detrimental to your health and can even kill you. The injections are given repeatedly under the skin till your immune system becomes used to the poison which aids in case you have an allergy of the toxin.

There have been many questions about whether there are ways which one can take the toxin treatment orally. For now its through injections as the studies for the tablets are not yet complete and they are still underway although there are products that are available in the market that has a little bit of it mixed with other extracts in them.

It usually can be contaminated by pollen or dust if you do not look after it properly. The color of the venom depends with the oxidation of the components so you have to always protect it. Do not let it be extremely oxidized since it will lose its value. The color can be brownish yellow or white in its powder form. Its usually a colorless liquid.
