Why this name

Bee venom peptides sit at an unusual intersection: apitherapy folk tradition on one side, rigorous membrane biophysics and oncology screening on the other. A .org covering the peptide family is well placed to hold that line — publishing structure and sequence data, cataloguing analogs described in the literature, and separating documented findings from claims that outrun the evidence.

University groups, scientific societies, and funders are the natural owners. The plural gives the site room to grow beyond one sequence into the whole derivative landscape, and the extension gives it the credibility that vendor domains cannot buy. Anyone building a citable public resource on this chemistry starts from a stronger position with this name.

Well suited to

• Scientific society or research network home
• Public analog registry and literature index
• Evidence review resource on bee venom peptides
• Conference and symposium site for venom peptide research

Ideal owner A scientific society, university group, or funder building a citable public resource.
