Apis mellifica is prepared from the honey bee, Apis mellifera, the whole insect providing the starting material for the homeopathic preparation. This is diluted and succussed to a 30c potency - the 1:100 centesimal dilution carried out thirty times - at which no material trace of the original source remains. Weleda supplies the remedy as easily dissolved tablets in a glass bottle of 125 on a lactose and sucrose base. In the homeopathic tradition, Apis mel. is characteristically associated with puffy, rosy swellings that feel hot and stinging and are eased by cool applications - a picture drawn from the effects of a bee sting.
