Abstract

Antioxidants have gained significant importance in modern nutrition. They can be sourced from various natural products, including those from bees. Honey bee products are royal jelly, venom, beeswax, honey, propolis, pollen, and fermented pollen (bee bread). These substances are known for their antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antioxidant properties, and different biological activities. Throughout history, they have been used for various apitherapy purposes and are highly valued for their medicinal, cosmetic, and nutritional benefits. These products are rich in antioxidants, which play a crucial role in combating oxidative stress linked to chronic diseases like cancer and cardiovascular conditions. This Special Issue, entitled “Antioxidant Activity of Honey Bee Products”, focuses on the antioxidant properties of these products and their associated health benefits.
