They have been experimenting with bee venom as an effective cancer killing drug.  Due to its potency, the problem with bee venom was a means of delivering it to cancerous cells.

If the nanobots can be made to select only cancerous cells the actual delivery scheme has already been tested. This may be the beginning of a radiation free cure for cancer.

The effectiveness of bee venom was described in one of the NOVA videos.

Below is a very short  synopsis

 

and for other medical uses such as inflammatory diseases;

I do not think that bee venom will be used in such nanomachines however it is a interesting idea maybe you should patent it? However, I think you may be better off using a synthetic nanoparticle to deploy it such as a lipid nanoparticle.
