蜜蜂是最重要授粉昆虫，也是人类生产活动最密切经济昆虫之一，还是一种理想模式生物。蜂蜜是养蜂生产中一种主要蜂产品，属于药食同源的食物，一直被广泛食用。蜂蜜的功能研究长期以来一直是热门课题，每年都有大量学术论文发表。本文从蜂蜜抗氧化活性成分、影响其抗氧化活性成分相关因素、蜂蜜抗氧化作用机制、蜂蜜抗衰老功能四方面研究进展进行了总结，并提出了几点展望，以期对广大读者有参考价值。

Honey bees are both the most important pollinator and one of the most economically important insects. They also serve as an ideal model organism. Honey, a major product of beekeeping, is both an edible, and medicinal, food, and is widely consumed. Research on the functional properties of honey has long been a popular topic, with numerous articles published annually. This article reviews advances in four aspects of research: the antioxidant components of honey, the factors influencing these components, the mechanisms responsible for honey’s antioxidant activity, and its anti-aging functions. In addition, several prospects for future research are proposed.
