You could google arthritis and ants or bees. Very interesting
information out there.

Several varieties of ants are used in Chinese Tonic herbalism, all with
virtually the same attributes. These different varieties come from
different regions in China. Each region claims that its ants are
superior. Both black ants (primarily from southern and central China)
and red ants (primarily from northeastern China) are used. Ants from
high, pristine mountain ranges such as the Himalayas in southern China
and Tibet, or the Changbai Mountains in northeastern China are
considered the finest and most potent. Most of the tonic ants are large
ants.
A primary concern in using ant as a tonic supplement is that the ants or
ant product is from a reputable company that specializes in ant tonic
preparation. The ants must be collected from, or raised in, a pure,
pristine environment. Certainly, using ants that have been exposed to
Raid is not a good idea. In other words, it is not a good idea to try
collecting your own from the basement or back yard. The ants used in
Chinese Tonic supplements are raised in sealed ant farms and are
absolutely chemical free. Ant is rare in raw form in the United States,
but is extremely valuable if you can obtain it. It should be light in
weight, dark and consistent in color, and fluffy, with no obvious
impurities, degradation or discoloration. Most sources of ant as a tonic
supplement will be ant products made by a number of ant specialty houses
out of China. Ant tonics come in both capsules and oral liquid elixirs.
At this writing all the ant products I have tested have been excellent
and have met my every expectation. The ant industry is extremely heavily
regulated in China and there is no indication that less than quality ant
products are now being produced in mainland China.
Ant has a bipolar (double-direction) immuno-regulatory activity. It thus
fortifies a weakened immune system and modifies an overactive immune
system. Ant can have a very beneficial effect on autoimmune disorders
such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gouty arthritis,
alkolyzing spondylitis, scleroderma, psoriasis, and some studies
indicate significant tumor reducing effects when ant is consumed in
therapeutic dosages.
