Abstract
Apitherapy for children is the targeted use of bee products to strengthen immunity and complementary therapy to official medicine in the treatment process. In the case of Apipedagogical, apitherapy for children takes place as part of regular pedagogical work in a kindergarten or school, which is mainly based on dedicated support for development through nutrition and apitherapeutic services. Bee products that are used in a targeted manner are honey, royal jelly, wax, propolis, and pollen. Apitherapy for children through target-based consumption of bee products relies on three fundamental pillars: sensory integration, nutritional values of bee products, and interoception. The completed study shows that the developmental needs of children correlate with their nutritional needs.
Healthy eating habits of children are of essential importance not only for health but also for development in all areas, including self-esteem, which, among other things, stems from a sense of successful placement in the environment and a sense of the ability to overcome challenges; in bee products, a key supporting role should be recognized in this regard.
