Bee products have long been used in traditional healing practices to treat many types of disorders, including cancer and microbial-related diseases. Indeed, several chemical compounds found in bee products have been demonstrated to display anticancer, antibacterial, antiviral, and antiparasitic properties. With the improvement of research tools and in view of recent advances related to bee products, this review aims to provide broad yet detailed insight into the pharmaceutical prospects of bee products such as honey, propolis, bee pollen, royal jelly, bee bread, beeswax, and bee venom, in the domain of cancer and infectious disease management. Available literature confirms the efficacy of these bee products in the alleviation of cancer progression, inhibition of bacterial and viral proliferation, and mitigation of parasitic-related symptoms. With such potentials, bioactive components isolated from the bee products can be used as an alternative approach in the long-run effort to improve humans’ health at a personal and community level.

“…Pollen from Cocos nucifera, Miconia spp., [27] Mimosa diplotricha [28], Brassica napus [29], coriander [30], Olea europaea, and Ononis spinosa [31] has also been shown to have antioxidant activity. Furthermore, anticancer activity from Olea europaea pollen [31] and antiparasitic activity from Attalea funifera pollen [32] have been observed as a result of these compounds.…”

“…Several major flavonoids have been found in various pollen samples (Figure 3), including luteolin, apigenin, chrysin (flavones), naringenin, pinocembrin, pinostrobin, pinobanksin (flavanones), rutin, myricetin, quercetin, kaempferol, isorhamnetin, quercitrin (flavonols), daidzein (isoflavone), antirrhinin (anthocyanidin), catechin, and epicatechin (flavanols) [30,35,39,40,43,44]. Other flavonoids identified recently include the biflavonoid rhusflavone, which exhibits high leishmanicidal activity [32], and several flavonoid glycoside derivatives such as the monobenzoylated pyranose 1, the mono-acetylated kaempferol diglycoside 2, and isorhamnetin-O-hexosyl-deoxyhexoside 3 [25,45].…”

Pollen, a remarkably versatile natural compound collected by bees for its abundant source of proteins and nutrients, represents a rich reservoir of diverse bioactive compounds with noteworthy chemical and therapeutic potential. Its extensive biological effects have been known and exploited since ancient times. Today, there is an increased interest in finding natural compounds against oxidative stress, a factor that contributes to various diseases. Recent research has unraveled a multitude of biological activities associated with bee pollen, ranging from antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antifungal properties to potential antiviral and anticancer applications. Comprehending the extensive repertoire of biological properties across various pollen sources remains challenging. By investigating a spectrum of pollen types and their chemical composition, this review produces an updated analysis of the bioactive constituents and the therapeutic prospects they offer. This review emphasizes the necessity for further exploration and standardization of diverse pollen sources and bioactive compounds that could contribute to the development of innovative therapies.

“…Bee pollen adalah hasil aglutinasi dari serbuk sari bunga biji-bijian oleh lebah madu pekerja, menggunakan nektar (dan/atau madu) dan zat saliva, dan dikumpulkan di pintu masuk sarang dan digunakan sebagai sumber makanan utama untuk sarang (Muñoz et al 2020;Gomes et al 2021). Proses ini memfasilitasi pelekatan serbuk sari ke corbicula mencari makan lebah dan transportasi ke koloni.…”

Aroma bunga merupakan komponen penting dari repertoar sifat tanaman berbunga, yang digunakan untuk menarik perhatian lebah. Tujuan ulasan ini untuk menguraikan keadaan pengetahuan tentang pentingnya serbuk sari tanaman sebagai sumber pakan lebah dan pentingnya aroma bunga terkait aspek ekologi kimia pada perilaku lebah dalam mencari sumber pakan dalam mengumpulkan serbuk sari pada sarangnya. Komponen senyawa aktif yang terdapat dalam tanaman berbunga menunjukkan sifat daya tarik lebah terhadap bunga tersebut. Semakin tinggi nilai aromatiknya, maka semakin banyak lebah yang hinggap. Sehingga perlunya studi lanjut tentang sejauh mana aroma nektar dan serbuk sari secara langsung mempengaruhi komunikasi lebah di dalam sarang, dan perlu kajian pentingnya karakteristik nonvolatil dari nektar atau serbuk sari.
