Nowadays by the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, multi-drug resistant pathogens (MDR) developed and spread, so searching for effective natural antimicrobials is of global concern. Apitherapy possessing various therapeutic activities (antimicrobial [1,2], anti-inflammatory [3-5], antioxidant [6-9], anti-proliferative [10], immunomodulator [11] ameliorative [12,13] or wound healing factor [14,15]) proved to be a suitable tool to get the target since it is very safe, highly effective, easily applicable and extremely economic. The subject is of interesting concept for the apitherapy research team affiliating to Animal Health Research Institute, assiut and Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Assiut University, Egypt. The team produced many research works (no 12) which were tabulated in tables 1(in vitro antimicrobial activity), 2(antioxidant, immunomodulative and toxicity ameliorative factors) and 3 (applied honey apitherapy in lactating dairy cows) dealt with different veterinary apitherapeutic applications of different apiproducts; honey, propolis and bee venom.
