    Objective: To review the evidence on the effectiveness of honey bee dressings in managing chronic wounds and improving tissue reepithelialization. Methodology: This is a quantitative study, with a systematic review design. The population consisted of 40 articles, and the sample was 9 scientific articles published and indexed in scientific databases. The instrument used was a database search: Cochrane Library, Scielo, British Medical Journal, PubMed, Online Library, EBSCO. The GRADE system was used for evaluating the articles, which assessed the quality of evidence and strength of recommendations. Results: All articles (100%) are from the USA. Regarding the study designs, 40% are case-control studies, 20% are meta-analyses, and 40% are systematic reviews. Conclusion: 90% of the studies show the effectiveness of honey bee dressings in managing chronic wounds, improving reepithelialization, reducing pain, and improving scars. 10% of the meta-analysis concludes that many of the included studies have methodological issues and that the quality of certain studies is low, which complicates the formulation of definitive guidelines.
