The current study aimed to know the effect of using honey bee venom in the treatment of diabetes, which included the use of (30) rats. The animals were divided into two groups; the first group used a dose of 1 mg / kg. As for the second group, it is the group of rats in which a dose of 2 mg/kg was used. The blood sugar level of the vaccinated animals was measured to confirm the percentage of diabetes and more than once for 40 days of treatment, after which the animals were dissected to remove the pancreatic gland and fix it with fixing solutions, then a series of preparations for tissue slides were performed on them. Through the study, it was found that the pancreatic gland of the islets of Langerhans showed a size close to normal and the secretory cells were few in number compared with the affected group and the control group.
