The use of propolis and bee venom for curable human disorders was reviewed. Of the 903 persons treated by the Korea Apitherapy Healthcare Association (KAHA) for bee stings in 2003, 50 percent were satisfied by the treatment. Since 1982, when the Korea Bee Sting Institute was founded, 8,730 persons have experienced bee sting therapy. The annual production of bee venom and propolis in 2002 was 8 kg and 63 tons, respectively. Stingless bee colonies were reared in greenhouses to get high quality unifloral honey and propolis. The possibility of SLB colony management in the greenhouse was recognized in South Korea.
