Propolis is a combination of resins and glues produced by some plants to protect their buds from infections and oxidation by ultraviolet rays, which are collected by bees. In the hive, propolis is enriched by bees with beeswax and enzymes secreted through special glands to protect the hive from microorganisms. Propolis is a unique synergy between flora and wildlife. In the hive, propolis, due to its resinous consistency, is used as a building material for sealing and insulation, but its most important action is as an antibacterial agent and antioxidant, thus avoiding infections inside the hive.
