Propolis is a resinous substance gathered by bees from the leaf buds or bark of certain trees and bushes. The bees then use the propolis as a "cement" that lines the walls of the hive. Nature has provided bees with this substance to keep them and their hives free of germs, in spite of 40,000 to 50,000 bees being crammed into close quarters in the hive.
The green to brownish glue-like material with an aromatic smell and slightly bitter taste is made up of 50-55% resin and balsam, 40% wax and 10% other, depending on what kinds of foliage are available.
Researchers found that the therapeutic properties of propolis come from substances called flavonoids, found in the resin.
Propolis is rich in minerals, B-vitamins and antibiotics, and works to raise the body's natural resistance by stimulating it to produce its own disease-fighting defenses.
Bees collect propolis, treat it with their own enzymes, and use the sticky material to patch holes or cracks in the hive. This organic "cement" protects the insects and their home from contamination, moisture and germs.
"Bees have relied on it for 46 million years," says Dr. Kupsinel, a Florida physician. "The bees must be doing something right, because beehives contain less bacteria and are far more sterile than hospitals."
