Bee propolis, also known as bee glue, is a product bees produce to seal cracks in their hives. It consists mostly of resin, wax, essential oils, pollen, and other organic compounds.
Bee propolis is used in apitherapy, the use of bee products such as honey propolis, pollen, and venom for therapeutic purposes. Substances made by bees are believed to have unique and potent health benefits.
Not all bee propolis is alike. Because bees pollinate many different types of plants all over the world, factors such as geographic location, season, and type of pollen collected by the bees impact the exact composition of the propolis.
