ABOUT BEE VENOM
Honey bee venom (apitoxin, apis mellifera venom) is a colorless, acidic liquid and contains pharmacologically important constituents. The important constituents present in bee venom are melittin, apamin, hyaluronidase, phospholipase, and histamine. Melittin is considered to be the major constituent of bee venom. The venom is produced in the abdomen of worker bees from a mixture of acidic and basic secretions. New-born bees do not sting. Venom synthesis begins after two or three days, while the maximal production rate is reached when bees are two to three weeks old. Older worker bees produce less venom. When collecting the bees leave it in a liquid state on the collecting panel. It’s a colorless, acidic liquid. After drying, it is a white powder (if protected from oxidation). If it is not protected, oxidation will change the color from white to brownish-yellow. Changes caused by the oxidation of certain components of the venom may decrease its healing effect.
As a branch of apitherapy bee venom therapy is used by some as a treatment for rheumatism and joint diseases due to its anticoagulant and anti-inflammatory properties. The bee venom is used for the treatment of rheumatic diseases, multiple sclerosis, rheumatic fever, high blood pressure, sciatica, psoriasis, hematomas, various skin conditions, and burns, among others. New research shows that nanoparticles carrying a toxin found in bee venom are capable of destroying HIV cells while leaving others intact. It is also increasingly used in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries in the form of creams and serums. Bee venom (apitoxin) is produced in many countries mainly in Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Americas, and is the most expensive bee product.
SMART-BEE IN THE SERVICE OF SCIENCE
Our Bee Venom Collector was used in the scientific study “Bee venom nanoparticles” at King Saud University. In this research, you can read how bee venom was collected, stored, and what results were obtained from this study. More information can be found here.
ABOUT DEVICES
SMART-BEE is a beekeeping electronic device used to collect bee venom (apitoxin). We have been present in the market for eight years and, together with our customers, we collect the highest quality bee venom with maximum yields from different continents. By constantly improving and testing our devices, we strive to make them even smarter. The bee venom collection kits consist of two parts: a collector and collection panels on which bees release venom. The main characteristics of our devices are automatic operation, low power consumption, power from the built-in high-capacity battery, various portable USB sources that can power and recharge the built-in battery (depending on the type of collector), the ability to serve several panels at a time (each panel connected to the device is a separate bee venom collector), which significantly reduces the time required to collect.
With a built-in battery or 5 VDC input voltage that you can get from any USB source (even solar), this device makes it unique and easy to use.
Power the collector with mobile chargers, power banks, solar panels, batteries, laptops…or just charge it and go to the apiary.
Discover our durable and eco-friendly SMART-BEE panels designed for efficient collection of bee venom. Crafted from premium food-grade plastic and reinforced with stainless steel wire, these panels ensure prolonged durability, promising extended periods of use without compromise.
Our device is bee-friendly, and the collection process is harmless to them. A bee that stings into a soft surface (e.g. the skin) cannot pull its stinger out. Attempts to do so result in severe injuries to the bee and its death. However, when the bee stings into a hard surface (in our case glass in the collecting panel), the stinger doesn’t get caught and the bee won’t get hurt as it can pull it out easily.
For you, we designed and built the most efficient bee venom collector in the world. Collecting bee venom using our devices is very easy. You can use it as a beginner or a professional, as it does not require any adjustment with excellent results tested in practice. Depending on your needs, you can choose a model and start collecting bee venom.
