Bee death - what is it?
Bees bring great benefits to humans. But these stubborn workers do not live long. In winter, one bee lives for about 9 months, and in summer - only about a month.
Even after their death, bees can be useful. At its core, dead bees are dead bees. Beekeepers collect them while cleaning hives and use them for medicinal purposes.
The benefits of dead bees were known back in the days of Ancient Rome. With the flourishing of science, scientists were quite skeptical about this remedy, because they considered it charlatan and ineffective. Only recently have scientists proven the undoubted benefits of dead bees.
Podmor collected in the fall is considered especially useful. The bodies of these bees contain a huge amount of useful substances that they accumulated in their bodies during the honey production process.

What to consider
If during the active summer period a large number of insects die and the fact of an attack by thieving bees is excluded, this indicates the presence of some disease in the families. Although bee diseases are not dangerous to humans, it is still not worth using this beekeeping product for medicinal purposes.
For alcohol tinctures and ointments, only a fresh product is recommended that does not have an unpleasant odor or signs of mold.
Moreover, summer death is much more valuable than winter death:
- In the cold season, insects die without emptying themselves - a certain percentage of feces is necessarily present in the bodies. They are not dangerous to humans (until science has proven the harm of this impurity in tinctures or ointments - after all, bees feed exclusively on honey). But in fact, the summer bee death will be cleaner and healthier.
- In autumn, nests are treated with anti-tick products (for example, “Bipin”). This drug also partially ends up in tinctures and ointments along with insect bodies collected in winter or spring. And in the summer, beekeepers use special plates for prevention or do not carry out anti-mite measures at all during the honey-bearing period.

This leads to the conclusion that winter deadstock obtained in the spring is best applied externally. And for ingestion, it is preferable to use insect pestilence from the summer generation.
Dead bees: medicinal properties
All the power of beekeeping products and all the beneficial substances for which they are famous are contained in the body of the bee itself. Two substances are especially valuable:
- Melanin.
- Chitosan.
Melanin is one of the most powerful natural enterosorbents. Helps restore intestinal microflora. Helps remove toxins and poisons from the body. If taken in a timely manner, it can act on poisons and promote their removal from the body before they enter the circulatory system. This property makes the substance a very strong antidote.
Chitosan is a polysaccharide that is also an excellent absorbent. Just like melanin, it is able to quickly and efficiently remove toxic substances from the body.
We should also not forget about bee venom, which is also found in the bee’s body. There have long been real legends about its medicinal properties.
In addition, the composition of dead bees includes a large number of amino acids, useful minerals, enzymes and substances that act on the human body as hormones.
Their bodies contain a large amount of useful substances
The main functions of substances found in bees:
- Removes toxins and other harmful substances (including heavy metals).
- Helps reduce inflammatory processes.
- Protects the body from bacteria.
- Prevents the formation of blood clots by reducing blood clotting.
- Reduces pain.
- It has a urinary and choleretic effect.
- Inhibits the growth of tumors (both benign and malignant).
- Helps cope with cramps.
- Protects against harmful radiation.
- Helps stabilize blood pressure.
- Helps cope with some skin diseases (psoriasis, eczema).
- It has a positive effect on metabolism and the functioning of all body systems as a whole.
Dead bees: benefits and harms, how to take them
Despite all its miraculous power, bee death cannot be used by everyone. Like any other medicine, this remedy has its contraindications.
First of all, death is a fairly strong allergen. Even if you do not have a reaction to a beekeeping product, you should not neglect consulting a specialist. You may be allergic to dust or chitin. In the acute form of some diseases, it is also worth avoiding the use of drugs in bees: heart rhythm disturbances, thrombosis, cardiac aneurysm, and in case of serious mental disorders.
The bodies of dead bees contain heparin. It reduces blood clotting. Therefore, it is contraindicated for people suffering from diseases of the circulatory system. In particular, leukemia, increased vascular permeability and bleeding. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, women should be very careful when using medicines based on bee death. It is not recommended to treat children under 3 years of age with such remedies. In any case, before starting therapeutic or prophylactic use of podmora, you should consult with your doctor.

Treating dead bees: recipes and recommendations
Medicines based on dead bees are manufactured in almost all known formats, starting with alcohol tinctures and ending with powders and steams. Let's take a closer look at each of these varieties.
Store waste properly
Chemical composition
Dry dead bees contain bioactive compounds. With a total moisture content of the feedstock ranging from 8 to 10%!, (MISSING), they can be divided into separate groups.
Dead bee
- Protein compounds , making up from 50 to 80% of the total mass.
- Melanins , which have a specific gravity of 20-30%!
- Chitin – from 10 to 12%!
- Micro and macroelements , at least 3%!
History of origin and basic technologies of beekeeping in Canada
Separately, they are used in both folk and official medicine.
Protein compounds
Amino compounds with the highest specific gravity are represented by the following substances:
- organic acids;
- enzymes;
- heparin;
- proteins of undigested bee bread;
- protein compounds of bee venom;
- others.
In medicine, due to their high biological activity, the active ingredients of bee venom and heparin, which combine natural amines (histamine, dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, melitin) and anticoagulants - substances that prevent blood clotting and the formation of thrombosis, are widely used.
Melanins and their beneficial properties
Natural antioxidants and adaptogens, they are actually dark pigments that give color to the skin, hair, and iris of the eye.
Their action is based on absorbing ultraviolet radiation and protecting the body from harmful radiation. The rate of accumulation of radionuclides is inversely related to the amount of melanins: the more there are, the slower this process goes.
Collection of waste
Melanins can act as enterosorbents: in addition to normalizing microflora, they have found use as an atoxic agent in the early diagnosis of poisoning.
Chitin and its benefits
The outer shell and internal exoskeleton of a bee consists of chitin - a natural biopolymer, a source for the production of chitosan (or apizan), which, in turn, serves as a raw material for:
- modern cosmetology ;
- production of dietary food products;
- dietary supplements ;
- pharmacology.
Its value is associated with the ability to bind and remove fat molecules from the body; it improves metabolism, acts as a natural sorbent and toxin, promotes weight loss and normalizes digestion.
In addition, it exhibits the properties of a natural preservative for any food product, and also acts as a taste and smell enhancer.
Micro and macroelements
The minerals contained in dry bees have a form that is easily digestible for the human body and are not only common in nature:
- calcium;
- potassium;
- magnesium;
- manganese;
- sodium;
- aluminum;
- phosphorus;
- iron;
- zinc;
- gray;
- copper,
but rare, and therefore valuable:
- silver;
- boron;
- barium;
- chrome;
- beryllium;
- molybdenum;
- nickel;
- vanadium and others.
The composition of mineral compounds depends on the breed of bees, habitat and food supply.
Proper preparation and storage is half the battle
Before starting treatment, you need to know how to properly prepare and store dead bees:
- The collected bees must be carefully sifted to remove any excess debris that may have stuck to them while they were on the ground.
- Dry them. This can be done in the oven at low temperature (about 45−50°C) or over a heater.
- It is best to store them in fabric bags. This way, dampness will not develop, and the fabric will be well ventilated.
- The room in which bags of dead food are stored must be dry and ventilated. You can also store them in the freezer.
