Honeybee products have positive effects on the reproductive performance of mammals. Many honeybee product constituents are biologically active, with antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antifungal, wound-healing, and cardio-protective properties. Honeybee products also improve male and female fertility rates by enhancing gamete cryopreservation, in vitro maturation and fertilization, and embryo development. Previously published studies confirmed their efficacy for alleviating reproductive toxicity caused by contaminants and lifestyle habits that impair overall health and well-being. However, high-dose oral administration of honeybee products may adversely affect the reproductive system, and unfavorable effects were alleviated by treatment cessation. For this reason, this review proposes that bioactive components from bee products can be used as a strategy for improving the reproductive performance and health of mammals.
蜂产品对哺乳动物的生殖性能有积极影响。许多蜂产品成分具有生物活性，具有抗氧化、抗菌、抗病毒、抗炎、免疫调节、抗真菌、伤口愈合和心脏保护特性。蜂产品还通过提高配子冷冻保存、体外成熟和受精以及胚胎发育来提高雄性和雌性生育率。先前发表的研究证实了它们在减轻由损害整体健康和幸福的污染物和生活方式习惯引起的生殖毒性方面的功效。然而，高剂量口服蜂产品可能会对生殖系统产生不利影响，停止治疗后不良影响会减轻。因此，本综述提出蜂产品中的生物活性成分可作为提高哺乳动物生殖性能和健康的一种策略。
