Bee Venom: Harvest from Nature

A Rare Natural Ingredient for Rejuvenation & Relief

Bioactive cocktail with powerful therapeutic action

Bee Venom

What Is Bee Venom?

Bee venom—also known as apitoxin—is a potent natural secretion honeybees use to defend themselves from predators. Far more than a sting, it’s a bioactive cocktail rich in peptides and enzymes like melittin, apamin, adolapin, phospholipase A2, and hyaluronidase—each with powerful therapeutic potential. At Rojel, we collect this remarkable substance with a bee-friendly technique: a gentle electrical pulse encourages bees to deposit venom on a glass plate, without harming them or their stingers.

What Are the Health Benefits of Bee Venom?

Once regarded only as a defense mechanism, bee venom is now recognized for its wide spectrum of applications:

  • Anti-Inflammatory & Immune Support: Melittin and apamin are known to help ease inflammation and modulate immune function.
  • Nervous System Support: Apamin has shown promise in supporting nerve repair and brain health.
  • Natural Antimicrobial: Phospholipase A2 and melittin work together to combat bacteria and other pathogens.
  • Skin Renewal Support: In cosmetics, bee venom is prized for improving skin elasticity and smoothing fine lines, acting as a natural alternative to more invasive treatments.
  • Veterinary Use: From easing joint pain in pets to supporting udder health in dairy cows, bee venom is gaining traction in the animal wellness world.

How Can You Tell If Bee Venom Is High Quality?

Our bee venom ranges approximately 64% melittin—placing it among the world’s most potent. This level of purity reflects both the untouched landscapes of New Zealand and Rojel’s meticulous production process.

How Is Bee Venom Collected and Processed?

Harvested from apiaries under New Zealand’s MPI Risk Management Programme, our bee venom undergoes rigorous purification. Using state-of-the-art techniques—including negative pressure filtration, centrifugation, micro-filtration, and freeze-drying—we produce an ultra-pure powder that meets the highest standards.

Are There Certifications for Bee Venom? What Should You Look For?

Rojel Bee Venom is produced in government-RMP registered facilities and independently tested and certified for bioactive concentration of melittin.

Production Process

Rojel produces bee venom directly at apiaries near North Auckland, New Zealand. We operate under the New Zealand government’s certified Risk Management Programme (RMP) to ensure the production of 100% New Zealand-purified bee venom through the following processes.

Crude bee venom collected from venom collectors contains various impurities, making it unsuitable for direct use in pharmaceuticals, medicine, or cosmetics.

To achieve a high-purity product, Rojel employs a state-of-the-art production process using negative pressure filtration, centrifugation, and freeze-drying technologies.

  1. Collection: We collect crude bee venom using our in-house developed venom collectors installed in front of beehives.
  2. Negative Pressure Filtration: Impurities such as dust, honey, bee pollen, and propolis are removed through a combination of filter papers and negative pressure filtering.
  3. Centrifugation: The filtered venom is further purified by centrifugation, which removes heavier impurities such as heavy metals.
  4. Micro Filtration: Residual microscopic impurities are removed to ensure that only the pure venom components remain.
  5. Freeze-drying: Moisture is eliminated through freeze-drying, producing purified bee venom in powder form. The final product is bottled and immediately stored at temperatures below -20°C.

Rojel supplies premium-quality bee venom to a wide range of customers, including pharmaceutical companies, cosmetic brands, veterinarians, traditional medicine practitioners, livestock farmers, and pet care product developers.

Minimum order quantity: 1 gram.
