Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) has infected people in 210 nations and has been declared a pandemic on March 12, 2020 by the World Health Organization (WHO). In the absence of effective treatment and/or vaccines for COVID-19, natural products of known therapeutic and antiviral activity could offer an inexpensive, effective option for managing the disease. Benefits of products of honey bees such as honey, propolis, and bee venom, against various types of diseases have been observed. Honey bees products are well known for their nutritional and medicinal values, they have been employed for ages for various therapeutic purposes. In this review, promising effects of various bee products against the emerging pandemic COVID-19 are discussed. Products of honey bees that contain mixtures of potentially active chemicals, possess unique properties that might help to protect, fight, and alleviate symptoms of COVID-19 infection.
冠状病毒病（COVID-19）已在210个国家感染了人们，并于2020年3月12日被世界卫生组织（WHO）宣布为大流行病。在缺乏针对COVID-19的有效治疗方法和/或疫苗的情况下，具有已知治疗和抗病毒活性的天然产物可为控制该疾病提供一种廉价、有效的选择。已观察到蜜蜂产品如蜂蜜、蜂胶和蜂毒对各种类型疾病的益处。蜜蜂产品因其营养和药用价值而闻名，长期以来一直被用于各种治疗目的。在本综述中，讨论了各种蜂产品对新出现的大流行病COVID-19的潜在作用。含有潜在活性化学物质混合物的蜜蜂产品具有独特的特性，可能有助于保护、对抗和减轻COVID-19感染的症状。
