Propolis is a substance produced by honey bees and is a nature’s answer to protect against threats to their beehive. Rich in bioflavonoids, it is extremely effective in supporting immune defences.

• Has anaesthetic properties
• Help to heal gastric ulcers
• Strengthen capillaries

Propolis is plant resin collected by bees for use in and around the hive. In plants, it is usually the sticky coating around buds that serves to protect them from the elements of weather plus from attack by bacteria, fungi, moulds and viruses. These are properties that are useful to the bees and are enhanced by the sticky properties of the propolis.
Like pollen, propolis is a bee product that cant be clearly defined and varies from sample to sample.
This is a natural outcome of the collection process. Propolis collecting bees will use resins from a large variety of tree and other plant species, and these naturally will differ in their qualitative and quantitative chemical composition. Nevertheless, different propolis samples so sahre considerable similarity in their physical and overall general chemical nature.
