At Bees for Development we are often asked to suggest books that discuss these products ina scientific way. At last we can recommend this new publication discussing the chemical
composition, pharmacological effects and other properties of bee products. Bee Products has 31 chapters. The first is an introduction by Dr Eva Crane into the importance of bee products to humans. This is followed by 30 chapters each by a different expert discussing particular aspects of honey, pollen, propolis, royal jelly or venom. This book will be of value to those interested in scientific approaches to the use of bee products for health treatments.
