This study was carried out to characterize structure and to evaluate heavy metal safety of purified bee venom (PBV) collected using bee venom collector. According to differential thermal analysis, PBV showed degradation peak around 230°C Infrared spectrum showed double peak at 1,500~1,600cm<SUP>-1</SUP>. X-ray diffractometry analysis showed sharp diffraction peaks at 2θ=8.5° and 21.5°. Moreover, no harmful heavy metal was contained in PBV. These suggest that PBV collected from Korea may be as a very stability and safety.
