Propolis is a resinous exudate collected by bees from the leaf buds of certain trees, mostly from the poplar.
Enzymes from the bee’s digestive glands modify these exudates and they process it for use as a cement to secure the structure of the hive.
Propolis protects the hive from infection. It is one of the most effective natural antibiotics; and it acts as an anti-bacterial and an anti-viral, not only for bees but also for humans.
It acts by strengthening the body's immune system which deals with and overcomes infection, whether they are viral, bacterial or fungal.
