Our bee friends never cease to fascinate with all of their talents and gifts. As we study the Bee Kingdom, we notice that not all great things, come in large packages.
Today, we explore the amazing bee resin, Propolis, and find all of the great ways it protects their hive and us.
What is Propolis?
Bees produce propolis by mixing their saliva, beeswax, pollen and tree resin. It’s made to protect and seal their hive from viruses, bacteria, fungi, weather, and pests.
This sticky, slickening substance benefits humans as well. Propolis creates a waxy-like coating protecting our cells against viral and bacteria replication; In scientific studies, it’s noted for its versatile healing defenses and ability to protect our body.
Propolis is made from a variety of compounds. According to Ranzato’s 2015 study, “More than 300 different compounds have been characterized so far in propolis, including aliphatic acids, esters, aromatic acids, fatty acids, carbohydrates, aldehydes, amino acids, ketones, chalcones, dihydrochalcones, terpenoids, vitamins, and inorganic substances.” Scientific study has determined these versatile compounds have an ability to aid with a variety of ailments.
