With the growth of multi-resistant microorganisms, seeking alternatives to bacterial or fungal infections has become a goal for researchers in several countries, in order to obtain effective and safe methods. This scenario includes bee products, the main ones being wax, honey, royal jelly and propolis, capable of becoming great allies in the treatment of pathogenic microorganisms. Thus, the objective of this work is to analyze the antimicrobial properties against bacteria and fungi of honey, royal jelly and propolis. This is an integrative literature review, using the: SciELO, PubMed and LILACS databases for research through Health Sciences Descriptors, including original, review articles, case reports, published in Portuguese, English and/or Spanish, available in full and free of charge, and published in the period from 2010 to 2020. Eight articles were included, all retrieved from the PubMed database, which revealed the great potential that honey and propolis have in fighting infections caused even by multi-resistant bacteria, but no study addressed such activity on fungi. New studies should be developed on the subject, mainly in Brazil, applying such products to fungi and other living beings of clinical relevance, with well-designed samples, with the main objective of helping offer efficient and effective health care of quality.
