Bees are considered unique insects. They play an important role in human daily life. At the same time, the benefits of bees are difficult to overestimate. These insects pollinate plants, which helps increase the yield of cultivated plants. They also bring many valuable products for the human body. These include honey, bee bread, royal jelly, zabrus and much more.
Bee products
Bee products are very useful for humans. These include the following:
- Honey contains a valuable complex of nutrients. This product contains fructose, glucose, sucrose and many vitamins.Depending on the plants from which the bees collected nectar, the substance may differ in taste, aroma and color. This product successfully copes with inflammatory processes, pathologies of the nervous system and digestive organs. It also helps with poisoning and intoxication of the body.
- Propolis is a sticky substance produced by bees to disinfect cells and seal cracks. In combination with honey, propolis is used to treat headaches, weight loss, eliminate diseases of the digestive organs and gynecological pathologies. Propolis contains proteins, aromatic acids, and flavonoids. It also contains vitamins and microelements.
- Flower pollen - this beekeeping product is very popular. It is characterized by healing and tonic properties. The composition includes trace elements, carotenoids and vitamins.
Bee bread is pollen that is placed in cells by bees and filled with honey.
- Royal jelly - this bee product contains many nutritional components. It contains proteins, vitamins, carbohydrates, hormones.

Pollination
Flowers serve as a source of nectar and pollen for bees, and insects pollinate them in return. Scientists claim that the benefits of pollination of entomophilous plants are many times higher than the cost of all the honey collected in the world.
Thanks to cross-pollination, it is possible to increase the yield of seeds and fruits.
In addition, their sizes increase. The pollinating work of honey bees helps increase the yield of the following crops:
- buckwheat and sunflower – by 50%;
- melons – 100%;
- fruit trees and shrubs – 10 times.
Dead bees
This term called dead beeswhich are used for medicinal purposes. The waste is sorted out and cleared of debris. After which it is dried. Alcohol tinctures are made from the obtained raw materials. Such funds are used to combat diseases of the joints and genitourinary organs. They are also used to prevent viral infections.
Bees are very useful insects that provide many valuable products - honey, pollen, beebread and others. In addition, they participate in the pollination of crops, thereby increasing their yield.
