What is bee propolis and where does it come from?
Bee propolis, also called clay, is a mixture of pine and other evergreen trees, wax and pollen of buds and plant colors enriched with enzymes from the digestive system of bees and subjected to lactic acid fermentation. The result - a type of bee glue.
Since propolis is a thick sticky liquid at room temperature, but becomes stiff and brittle in colder weather, bees use it as a resin for its hives. When they find small, unwanted fissures or openings, they fill them with propolis. For the human organism, however, beegee is a real remedy.
