Recently, the developed industries producing cosmetic and pharmaceutical products derived from nature are of great interest to the human population to maintain safely their health and beauty. Hence, alternative medicine, a treatment form, as well as cosmetic natural products are widely and frequently used by patients and the general population due to their less hazards and side effects. Furthermore, ethnopharmacology provides a valuable source of the new determined natural bioactive molecules, and subsequently, the natural products can be classified following their therapeutic values [1]. In this regard, the major therapeutic agents approved and developed between 1981 and 2010 were of natural origin [2]. The natural products that have been traditionally applied for therapeutic benefits have potential biological and antioxidant activities owed to the presence of bioactive molecules, in particular secondary metabolites [3,4]. Interestingly, the natural compounds derived from herbs, plants, and essential oils have been, in recent years, largely used as antimicrobial additives in food production and preservation [5]. Furthermore, bees have been commonly cultivated by the human for centuries due to their crucial role in agriculture production and plant pollination, resulting in crop diversity [6], in addition to their therapeutic and nutritional products, including mainly honey, royal jelly, wax, and venom [6,7]. Accordingly, the use of bee products in treating various health conditions is known as apitherapy, where worldwide researchers, in the last few years, have paid great attention to developing these natural compounds as effective alternative drugs [8]…
