Honeybee venom kills breast cancer cells in less than 30 minutes, new study finds
This discovery is causing a stir within the medical community and has the potential to influence the future of cancer treatment.
A new and promising approach in cancer research has emerged, where bee venom could play a crucial role in targeting and killing cancer cells. This discovery is causing a stir within the medical community and has the potential to significantly influence the future of cancer treatment.
For thousands of years, the European honeybee (Apis mellifera) has provided humanity with valuable products like honey, propolis, and venom.
Now, scientists are exploring the potential of bee venom, focusing specifically on its molecular structure and how it can be harnessed in the fight against breast cancer, the most common cancer affecting women globally.
The study aims to thoroughly investigate the molecular characteristics and specificity of bee venom against cancer cells. This research could serve as a foundation for developing and refining potent new therapies that utilize a resource both abundant and cost-effective to produce in various global communities.

Happy . We have much to learn from these amazing creatures. Every day spent with the bees is a lesson. The way they work as one to get the jobs in the hive done is a wonder. The way they communicate so beautifully through scent and movement is a wonder to see. If only we saw the world through the eyes of a bee, what a magical place it would be 🐝💛🖤

It’s National Pollinator Week! There are over 200,000 species of animal pollinators and the vast majority are insects. More than 77,000 beetle species are estimated to visit flowers and aid in pollination. Some scientists claim that beetle pollination is among the most destructive: most beetles eat their way through petals and other flower parts, they defecate within the flower, and then spread the mixture of f***s and pollen. Still, beetles are recognized as the primary pollen transporters for numerous plant families, especially phylogenetically basal plants such as magnolias and water lilies. For this reason, it is unfair to not recognize beetles as vital pollinators who play a unique role in wild plant reproduction and food production.

Remember to inspect your hives every 7 to 10 days in the spring when colonies are expanding. It’s not necessary to see the queen, but we were lucky to spot her during this hive inspection yesterday. During your inspection, be sure to check for eggs, larva, and capped brood. Also be on the lookout for pollen in the cells, which indicates the colony is raising babies. Colonies will build up quickly now, so be sure to have an extra box on hand in case you need to give the bees more room or add a super. .
