Main component
Peptide substances: The bee venom peptide melittin material is about 70% -80%        weight of the bee venom dry weight including melittin, the original melittin, Abaimin, MCD - peptides, tertiapin, melittin-F, with minim of Procaine, Nimin, peptide-M, adolapin.

Enzyme substances: the bee venom contains about fifty kinds of enzyme substance. The content of the hyaluronidase is most. It does not have a direct toxic and has a strong biological activity. It can promote the bee venom components infiltrate and diffuse at part tissue. In addition, it also contains phosophlipaseA1, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, C4 lipase, C6 lipase, RP-gamma - proline arylated lactamases, B-amino-glycosides grape arbor.

The bee venom also contains a lot of non-polypeptide substance including Histamine, dopamine, a variety of amino acids, fructose, glucose, lipids, choline, glycerol, phosphoric acid, formic acid ,putrescine, spermine, allergen B and C and so on.
