Chemical data on the phytochemistry of crude honeybee residue may be useful in the development of therapeutic substances for alternative medicines. This has necessitated the present study, which involves the probing of 30% acetone crude extract of crude honeybee residue (collected from the Ondo North forest of Ondo state, Nigeria). The crude honeybee residue was assayed for its phytoconstitutions via qualitative phytochemical screening and quantitatively through high-pressure liquid chromatography(HPLC). The results obtained from the phytochemical investigation indicated the presence of alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoids, phenols and glycosides. However, HPLC spectrum reveals the presence of quercetin (27.84%) and kaempferol (23.31%) showing retention times of 36.64 and 38.70 min respectively. The identified phytochemicals were the major constituents and are known for their medicinal significance.
