Abstract :
Honeybees, also known as the "golden insect", belong to the genus Apis and the main species used for pollination of crops is Apis mellifera. Honeybees are one of the most amazing and economically useful insects. The products of this beneficial insect have been used for thousands of years in many cultures to treat various diseases, and their therapeutic properties have been recorded in many religious texts such as the Holy Quran. One of the most important biological activities of these products is their antibacterial activity. Each of the bee products, due to the presence of bioactive compounds, inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacterial strains. Due to the increasing spread of antibiotic resistance and unwanted side effects of chemical pharmaceutical compounds, the trend towards compounds of natural origin has increased to inhibit the growth of pathogenic microorganisms. Honey, venom, propolis, pollen, and royal jelly contain many bioactive compounds that make them effective against a variety of pathogenic bacterial species. Many studies have separately investigated the antibacterial activity of each of these products. The aim of the present study is to refer to the antibacterial activity of all honeybee products including honey, bee venom, propolis, pollen, and royal jelly in a focused study with emphasis on the mechanism of antibacterial activity of these products.
