Bee venom ointment

What is bee venom?

Bee venom, also known as bee sting venom, is a substance produced by female bees, specifically worker bees and the queen. At the end of their abdomen, they have a stinger that can be extended. This is actually an ovipositor, which the queen uses to lay eggs, and which worker bees can use to sting. A droplet of liquid, the bee venom, hangs from the extended stinger. This venom is produced in the bee's venom gland and stored in a venom sac at the base of the stinger. The bee needs the stinger to protect its colony from enemies.
