Propolis properties

The propolis  is a waxy resin of viscous consistency that bees obtain from resinous substances from different plant sources like buds, sap exudates, flowers. Bees use propolis to reinforce the structural stability of the hive, protect it, isolate it and prevent parasites and diseases. A hive produces between 80 and 400 grams of propolis per year depending on its size and population. Propolis has a broad spectrum of biological and pharmacological properties. It has antioxidant activity, antimicrobial and antifungal activity, antiviral activity, immunostimulant activity, anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity and antitoxic activity.
