How is bee venom solution (BVS) prepared?

The disadvantage of this method is that the hot saline solution may partially destroy the active components of the venom. Consequently, its healing effect cannot be compared to the effectiveness of live bee stings.

Queensland Museum - Snakes - FAQ
Snake venom is a complex 'cocktail' of chemicals. The components of venoms and their effects vary between species of snakes. Some venoms affect nerves (neurotoxins), others break down blood (haemotoxins), or muscles (myotoxins). Venoms of Australian snakes are mainly neurotoxic, causing muscle paralysis, respiratory failure, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. Venom is used mainly to kill prey and begin the digestive process. It is also used to defend a snake against a potential aggressor.
