What is Propolis?

Propolis is a resinous mixture that honey bees collect from tree buds, sap flows, and other botanical sources. Bees use propolis to seal unwanted open spaces in the hive and protect against diseases. Known as "bee glue," propolis contains over 300 bioactive compounds and has been used for centuries for its remarkable antimicrobial and immune-supporting properties. ApiHealth uses advanced extraction technology to create bio-active propolis that's highly concentrated and effective.
