Introduction

The science behind Bee Venom is still developing, and researchers continue to find new uses for it. We add small quantities of Bee Venom to Manuka Honey to create our hugely successful Nectar Ease product range, forming the basis for our Royal Nectar skincare range.

Bee Venom Composition

Bee Venom composition and strength vary between Honeybee species, and small variances are identifiable between bee breeds and locations. The natural components of Bee Venom have been studied scientifically, with Melittin identified as one of the most important components, making up about 50% of the venom.

Bee Venom Uses

At Nelson Honey, we use Bee Venom in two ways, becoming famous for our innovation with this ingredient:

• Over 30 years ago, we began adding Bee Venom to honey after positive feedback from beekeepers. This led to the creation of our Nectar Ease products, which gained a great reputation in New Zealand.
• Nectar Ease Honey was initially used in facial treatments, gaining worldwide media attention, and inspiring the birth of our Royal Nectar skincare range.

Today, the Royal Nectar skincare range has a strong following, especially among Asian consumers.

Bee Venom Extraction

The Bee Venom used in Nectar Ease is extracted exclusively from the Apis Melifera species of Honeybee. Using low voltage electrical stimulation, beekeepers collect venom without harming bees.

• A collection frame with wire electrodes and a glass base is installed in hives. Bees that come into contact with the electrodes receive a small electrical shock, causing them to sting the glass and release venom without losing their barbed sting (which would result in bee deaths).
• Once the process finishes, the venom dries on the glass. The entire frame is then transported to a laboratory for collection.

No bees are harmed during the bee venom collection process.

Important

• Perform a patch test before first use, especially if you are sensitive to bee products.
• Do NOT use if you are allergic to bee venom or honey.
• Avoid direct contact with eyes.
• If irritation occurs, discontinue use.
