PROPOLIS
What is Propolis?
Propolis is a resinous substance gathered by the bees from the leaf buds or the bark of certain trees and bushes. The bees then use the propolis as a "cement" that lines the walls of the hive in which they prepare honey, pollen, royal jelly, and other related by-products. Nature has provided bees with this substance to keep them and their hives free of germs in spite of 40,000 to 50,000 bees being crammed into close quarters in the hive.
The brownish glue-like material with an aromatic smell and slightly bitter taste is made up of 50 to 55 percent resin and balsam, 40 percent wax, 10 percent other, depending on what type of foliages are available.
What are the benefits of Propolis?
Researchers found the therapeutic properties of propolis come from substances called flavonoids found in the resin.
Propolis is rich in minerals, B-Vitamins and antibiotics and works to raise the body's natural resistance by stimulating it to produce its own disease fighting defenses.
Additional Info:
Bees collect propolis, treat it with their own enzymes and use the sticky material to patch holes or cracks in the hive. This organic "cement" protects the insects and their home from contamination, moisture, and germs.
"The bees have relied on it for years," says Dr. Kupsinel, a Florida physician. "The bees must be doing something right because beehives contain less bacteria and are far more sterile than hospitals," he continues.
Propolis is not a food-stuff. Its numerous properties (anti-bacterial, antiviral, fungicidal, anti-inflammatory and analgestic) have been established by extensive research around the world. Its benefits have been recognized in many branches of medicine?dermatology, gynecology, dentistry and endocrinology for example.

ADDITONAL QUESTIONS:
What do I do if my honey crystallizes? Is it ruined?
Honey is the only food that never expires. If your honey crystallizes, all you need to do is put it in a pot of hot (not boiling) water, and it should melt right down. If that doesn’t work, put it in the microwave for just a few seconds.
Is honey safe for children and/or pregnant women?
The FDA recommends that honey not be consumed by children under the age of one. We recommend that pregnant women ask a doctor before taking any herbal supplements.
What is the difference between your honey and the honey I purchase at the store?
One big difference between our honey and store bought honey is that most honey purchased in the grocery store has been heated, any of the live enzymes in the honey die, and the pollen, propolis, and wax found in raw honey separate. When this happens, it takes any nutrition found in honey, and changes it to simply being a sweetener. Our honey is taken straight from the hive, sent to our store, and jarred up for you, making it the best honey around.
