A gift from God in the service of man.

Propolis is a resinous adhesive substance collected by bees from various plants. They enrich it with wax, pollen, enzymes, and other substances, and use it to seal and disinfect the interior of their hive.

The name “propolis” comes from the fact that bees place it at the entrance of the hive (the name in Greek means “before the city”) to narrow it and prevent the entry of various enemies, such as mice, large butterflies, etc.
