`World Apitherapy Day' Celebrates Health Benefits of Bee Products

 

Annual event marks birth of scientist who studied medicinal use of bee

venom

 

(MIAMI, FL, 1/27/2007) – March 30, 2007, will mark the 2nd annual

celebration of " World Apitherapy Day, " an event designed to enhance

international understanding of the therapeutic use and health benefits

of bee products. See: www.worldapitherapyday.org

Apitherapy is the use of bee hive products such as honey, propolis,

bee-collected pollen, beeswax, drone larvae extract, bee venom, and

royal jelly to maintain good health and in the treatment of a variety of

medical conditions.

 

(Propolis is a resinous substance collected by bees from plants and

trees and is used to coat the inside of the beehive and the honeycomb

cells with an antiseptic layer. Royal jelly is a substance produced by

young worker bees and fed to queens.

 

March 30 was chosen for World Apitherapy Day because it is the birth

date of Dr. Philipp Terc (formerly Filip Tertsch), the first scientific

researcher to investigate the medical uses of 'apitoxin, " or bee venom.

Terc was born on March 30, 1844, in Praporiste, Bohemia (Czech

Republic).
