    Bee venom, also known as apitoxin, is a complex mixture of proteins, peptides, and enzymes that honeybees inject through their stingers as a defense mechanism. It contains compounds like melittin, which has strong anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties, and is sometimes used in medical treatments for conditions such as arthritis and multiple sclerosis.
