What is bee propolis?!


Question: Bees adopted sterilization habits long before humans. The most sterile place in nature is the bee hive.
Propolis is the substance responsible for neutralizing any bacteria, fungi or virus which enters the hive. One of the most powerful antibiotics found in nature, it is made of waxes, resins, balsams, oils and a small amount of pollen.
Propolis is rich in vitamins A, B, C and E, amino acids, copper, iron, manganese and zinc.
Bee Propolis has 500 times the flavonoids of oranges, which makes it a very powerful antioxidant.
I just bought a bottle of beecaps for my aunt who has a lot of health problems and they had bee propolis in them.
