Scientists tested venom from more than 300 honeybees and bumblebees against two types of aggressive, hard to treat breast cancer.

The European honeybee (Apis mellifera) has been the source of a number of products used medicinally by humans, such as honey and venom.

The results could one day help engineers design more resilient buildings, or even swarms of tiny robots that behave a lot like insects.

The electric charge of insects can cause changes in the electricity of the atmosphere which are comparable with weather processes.

The cancer community is buzzing over a new study that says venom from bees can kill cancer cells within one hour of exposure.
