Arıcılık aktivitelerinden bal, polen, propolis, arı sütü ve arı zehiri gibi ürünler elde edilmektedir. Bu ürünler, halk arasında birçok hastalığın tedavisinde kullanılmaktadır. Apiterapi adı verilen arı ürünleri ile tedavi yöntemleri son zamanlarda gelişme göstermektedir. Antibakteriyel, antiviral, antikanserojen, antioksidan, antiromatizmal v.b. birçok etkisi araştırılmış bu ürünler hayvan besleme konusunda da son zamanlarda ilgi görmektedir. Bilindiği gibi antibiyotiklerin yem katkı maddesi olarak kullanımının yasaklanması sebebi ile antibiyotiğe alternatif doğal ürünlerin kullanımı yaygınlaşmaktadır. Propolis, polen, arı sütü ve arı zehiri ile yapılan çalışmalar göstermektedir ki bu ürünler hayvanların yem tüketimini, canlı ağırlığını ve yemden yararlanma oranını artırarak performans üzerinde olumlu etkiye sebep olabilmektedir. Arı ürünleri gelişmeyi artırıcı bu özellikleri ile alternatif ürün olarak kullanılabilecek doğal ürünlerdir. Bu derlemede başta propolis olmak üzere polen, arı sütü ve arı zehiri gibi doğal ürünlerin hayvan beslemede etkisinin araştırıldığı çalışmaların derlenerek kullanımları hakkında bilgi verilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
