颂曰∶郭璞注《尔雅》云∶今江东呼大蜂在地中作房者为土蜂，即马蜂也。荆、巴间呼
为蜂。
【集解】《别录》曰∶土蜂生武都山谷。
藏器曰∶土蜂穴居作房，赤黑色，最大，螫人至死，亦能酿蜜，其子亦大而白。
颂曰∶土蜂子，江东人亦啖之。又有木蜂似土蜂，人亦食其子。然则蜜蜂、土蜂、木蜂
、黄蜂子俱可食。大抵蜂类同科，其性效不相远矣。
蜂

蜂子
【气味】甘，平，有毒。
大明曰∶同蜜蜂。畏亦同也。

（出自《名医别录》）
【校正】旧版本草将土蜂与蜜蜂子列在同一条目中，现在将其分开。
【释名】蜚零（出自《神农本草经》）、蜂（读音同“惮”）。
苏颂说：郭璞在注释《尔雅》时写道：“如今江东地区称呼在地中筑巢的大蜂为土蜂，也就是马蜂。”荆州、巴郡一带称之为蜂。
【集解】《名医别录》记载：土蜂生长在武都的山谷中。
李藏器说：土蜂穴居并筑巢，颜色赤黑，体型最大，蛰伤人可致死亡，也能酿造蜂蜜，其幼虫也大而白。
苏颂说：土蜂的幼虫，江东人也食用。还有木蜂类似土蜂，人们也食用它的幼虫。如此看来，蜜蜂、土蜂、木蜂、黄蜂的幼虫都可以食用。大抵蜂类属于同一科，它们的药性和功效相差不远。
蜂
【主治】烧成粉末，用油调和，外敷治疗蜘蛛咬伤引起的疮疡。
李藏器说：这种昆虫能吃蜘蛛，这是利用它相互克制的特性。
蜂子
【气味】味甘，性平，有毒。
唐慎微（大明）说：药性与蜜蜂相同，畏忌之品也相同。
【主治】痈肿（出自《神农本草经》）。咽喉疼痛（出自《名医别录》）。通利大小便，治疗妇女带下病（出自《日华子本草》）。功效与蜜蜂子相同（李藏器）。用酒浸泡后外敷面部，可使面色悦泽洁白（李时珍）。
【附方】新增一方。
面色黝黑令其变白：取未长成头翅的土蜂幼虫，炒熟食用，并用酒浸泡后外敷面部。（出自《太平圣惠方》）
房（土蜂巢）
【主治】痈肿久不消散。研成粉末，用醋调匀涂抹患处，干燥后更换新药。（李时珍注：不可内服）。
【附方】新增一方。
疔疮肿毒已严重的患者：服用两剂即可痊愈，轻者一剂立即见效。取一个土蜂巢，一条蛇蜕，黄芩存性（保留药性），研成粉末。每次服用一钱，空腹用优质白酒送服。不久后腹部剧烈疼痛，疼痛停止后，疮毒已化为黄水排出。（出自《普济方》）
(From *Bie Lu* [Separate Record])
[Correction] Previously listed together with Apis Ceranae Cocoon (Bee Larvae) in the same entry; now separated.
[Names] Feiling (from *Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing*), Feng (pronounced "Dan").
Su Song stated: Guo Pu, in his commentary on *Er Ya*, wrote: "In the Jiangdong region today, large bees that build nests underground are called Tu Feng (Earth Bee), which is the hornet." In the Jing and Ba regions, it is called Feng.
[Collected Explanations] *Bie Lu* states: Tu Feng lives in the valleys of Wudu.
Li Canger stated: Tu Feng dwells in burrows and builds nests; it is red-black in color, the largest in size, its sting can be fatal to humans, yet it can also produce honey, and its larvae are large and white.
Su Song stated: The larvae of Tu Feng are also eaten by people in Jiangdong. There is also Mu Feng (Wood Bee) similar to Tu Feng, whose larvae are also consumed by people. Thus, the larvae of Apis cerana (Honey Bee), Tu Feng, Mu Feng, and Vespula (Yellow Jacket) are all edible. Generally speaking, bee species belong to the same family, and their properties and effects are not far apart.
Feng (Adult Earth Bee/Hornet)
[Indications] Burned into powder, mixed with oil, and applied externally to treat sores caused by spider bites.
Li Canger stated: This insect feeds on spiders, utilizing the principle of mutual suppression.
Feng Zi (Bee Larvae/Earth Bee Larvae)
[Properties and Flavor] Sweet, neutral, slightly toxic.
Tang Shenwei (Da Ming) stated: Its properties are the same as those of Apis Ceranae Cocoon; its contraindications are also the same.
[Indications] Carbuncles and swellings (from *Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing*). Sore throat (from *Bie Lu*). Promotes urination and defecation, treats leukorrhea in women (from *Ri Hua Zi Ben Cao*). Its efficacy is the same as that of Apis Ceranae Cocoon (Li Canger). Applied to the face after soaking in wine to make the complexion fair and bright (Li Shizhen).
[Attached Prescriptions] One new prescription.
To whiten darkened skin: Stir-fry the earth bee larvae before they develop heads and wings, consume them, and apply the wine-soaked residue to the face. (*Tai Ping Sheng Hui Fang*)
Fang (Hive/Nest)
[Indications] Persistent carbuncles and swellings. Grind into powder, mix with vinegar, and apply topically. Replace when dry. Not for internal consumption (Li Shizhen).
[Attached Prescriptions] One new prescription.
For severe carbuncles and sores: Two doses result in cure; mild cases respond immediately to one dose. Take one Tu Feng nest, one ophidian slough (Snake Skin), and Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix) processed to retain its medicinal property, grind into powder. Take one qian per dose, swallowed with good wine on an empty stomach. Shortly after, severe abdominal pain occurs; once the pain subsides, the sore toxins will have transformed into yellow fluid and drained out. (*Pu Ji Fang*)
