Why Bee Venom?
Bee venom is one of the most valuable natural products on the planet—worth more per gram than gold. With rising demand in health, wellness, and biotech industries, Africa’s bees hold untapped potential for rural income and global impact.
🐝 Melivax™ by Asili Nexus
The Origin: From Sting to Science
It began with an accident.
During an apiary visit in rural Kenya, our founder was stung multiple times by Africanized bees due to a failed bee suit. What followed wasn’t just pain — it was healing. Chronic joint pain faded. Persistent skin blemishes cleared. This unexpected outcome sparked a journey into the rich traditions of African healing and the untapped potential of bee venom.
In traditional communities such as the Akamba, Maasai, and Bakongo, bee venom has long been used to treat inflammation, pain, and even tumors. These aren’t just cultural anecdotes — they’re functional therapies waiting for validation.
Sustainably Sourced. Scientifically Validated.
Melivax™ is not just potent — it’s purposefully designed for research and innovation.
