The potential health benefits of honey, such as microbial inhibition, wound healing, and its effects on other diseases, are described.
Propolis has been reported to have various health benefits related to gastrointestinal disorders, allergies, and gynecological, oral, and dermatological problems.
Royal jelly is well known for its protective effects on reproductive health, neurodegenerative disorders, wound healing, and aging.
