Propolis is a form of resin which is collected by bees from bark and tree leaves. When combined by the worker bee with pollen, nectar and wax, it forms 'sticky' substance termed 'propolis'. It is used around the hive as an effective sealant, filling holes and cracks in the shell of the bee hive.

Bees have been on the planet in their present form for what some experts claim could be as long as 80 million years! Needless to say they have stood the test of time better than any other species on the planet. Experts are claiming the reason for this incredible existence is largely due to the natural properties of the bee 'elements' themselves. Protecting, sterilizing and nourishing bees to guard them against the hazards of the outside world, the natural bee products are now being recognized widely for their benefit to humans. Despite the obvious benefits, there is no way for man to synthetically recreate the properties of honey, pollen, Propolis or royal jelly. In fact it contains certain compounds which are so complex that they have yet to be identified and categorized.

This perhaps guarantees the safe existence of the bee population for maybe another 80 million years!
