Bee venom facts

-  Carlo Magno’s doctor (742-814) cured him from chronic gout by using increased doses of bee stings.

-  The enzymes of bee venom are 30 times more active than snake venom.

-  Africanized bees are smaller than European bees; they respond faster and produce 9 times more stings at the same time and pursue intruders up to 460 meters with willingness to sting.
-  At the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) fought primarily in what is now
Germany- and at various points involved most countries in Europe-
beehives were used to ambush the enemy lines making the beehives to
fall all over and angry bees sharply stung horses and horsemen.
Bee venom is 500 000 times stronger than any known antibiotic
