Biochemical composition

The therapeutic effect of dead bees is due to the presence of bioactive components. Their concentrations vary. The chemical composition of the raw material depends on the bees' living conditions, the location of the apiary, and other circumstances.

But the general chemical components are approximately the same in all dead honey plants. The majority (50–60%) are protein compounds (amino acids, heparin, enzymes, etc.).

The chemical composition is supplemented with macro- and microelements. All components are easily absorbed by the human body.

Melanins

These polymers are universal protectors and products of oxidation processes in the amino acid tyrosine. Their content in the raw material accounts for up to 30%.

The effect of melanins:

• prevent cell destruction;
• slow down and freeze destructive and degenerative processes in joints and internal organs;
• helps protect the body's mucous membranes from ulcer formation;

2. In the oven.The insects are spread on a baking sheet. They are dried at a temperature of 40 to 50°C, stirring occasionally. The total drying time is 1 hour.
3. In the sun. Experts disagree on whether it's possible to dry dead bees directly in the sun. However, most agree that this method won't harm the raw material.
