What is Propolis?

It is a mixture bee secretions and tree resins that is used in the construction and maintenance the hive. Sometimes called bee glue, or bee putty, it is also known as bee glue. Propolis is made from plant resins, just as bees gather nectar and pollen to bring back to their hives for food. Propolis, known as the defender for the hive, is to bees what penicillin was to different forms of bacteria or at least what penicillin used to be before bacteria outsmarted it. The difference is that we don’t cover our homes with penicillin to keep them safe from infection.

Propolis is used to sterilize bees’ homes by clever little engineers called bees. It is important that the environment in which they live, including their hives, is free from mold, fungus, and other diseases. The honeybee’s hard work was enjoyed by primitive humans who ate royal jelly honey, honeycombs, and larvae.

Propolis was given its name by the Greeks. Pro, which means “before” and “polis”, refers to a city. The phrase “Before the City” acknowledges that the bees protect the city’s entrance with propolis.
