Bee Propolis is a form of resin that honey bees collect from bark and tree leaves. Worker bees combine this resin with pollen, nectar and wax to form a sticky substance, with which they sterilize their hive and protect it against infections and intruders. It is also used to seal cracks in the hive, which is why Propolis is often called Bee Glue. Bee Propolis is a traditional medicine and has been used for centuries. It promotes healing and regeneration of tissue, provides protection against infections and is a great source of energy and stamina. Modern researches prove that it inhibits the growth of bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms, and even helps prevent cancer.
