You can find the original FDA complaint against Beehive Botanicals, Inc. 02-Mar-07 where the Feds list the bogus claims this company was making about the alleged health benefits of bee hive products.

From the FDA letter's long listing of false statements:

"Royal jelly is known to aid in liver disease, pancreatitis, insomnia, stomach ulcers, kidney disease, bone fractures and skin disorders:" "[S]uccessfully combats whooping cough, especially in children." "Benefits can also be obtained in cases of bronchitis, migraine. . . ." "Royal jelly is both an antibiotic and bactericide, effective in treating virus-infected patients - particularly with various types of flu and herpes virus." "[R]oyal jelly is effective in relieving symptoms of arthritis. . ." "[E]ffective in managing eczema, neurodermatitis and impetigo.. . ." "For example, one of its little-known benefits is its ability to help relieve emotional disorders such as anxiety, depression, shock and senility, as well as chronic insomnia."
