Propolis
Nature's Protection
Propolis is a resinous substance bees produce by mixing tree sap, beeswax, and their own enzymes. They use it to protect and seal their hives, forming a natural barrier against harmful microbes.
Packed with essential nutrients and powerful bioactive compounds, it has been used for centuries in traditional medicine to help support our immune systems, support the healing of wounds & protection against infections.

Bee the Change: A Guide to Ethical Beekeeping
The well-being of our bees comes first, because without them, none of what we do would be possible.
Specialised Mats
Beekeepers use specialised propolis mats (flexible, perforated sheets placed in the hive). Bees deposit propolis into the small gaps in the mat, just as they would in natural hive crevices. Beekeepers gently remove the mat and collect the hardened propolis without disrupting the colony.
Sustainable & Ethical
By using propolis mats, beekeepers ensure ethical, non-invasive, and sustainable harvesting that does not harm or disrupt bees while providing valuable benefits for human use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Propolis contains a rich array of bioactive compounds, including:
Flavonoids: Powerful antioxidants that help protect cells from damage and support the immune system.
Phenolic acids: Help reduce inflammation and support tissue repair.
Essential oils: Provide antimicrobial properties that help protect against infections. These nutrients work synergistically to support overall wellness, boost the immune system, and aid in skin and oral health.
Propolis contains a variety of bioactive nutrients, including antioxidants (like flavonoids), phenolic acids, and essential oils. These compounds help protect cells from oxidative stress, reduce inflammation, and support immune function. Essentially, they work together to promote overall health and healing, both internally and for skin and oral care.
Yes, propolis has natural anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and healing properties that make it ideal for sensitive and acne-prone skin. It helps reduce redness and inflammation, promote healing, and protect the skin from bacterial infections. Always perform a patch test if you're unsure about your skin's sensitivity.
While propolis is safe for most people, those with allergies to bee products (like pollen or honey) should avoid it. If you have sensitive skin or respiratory issues, it's advisable to test propolis on a small area first or consult your healthcare provider to ensure it's right for you.
No, propolis and honey are different substances. Honey is made by bees from nectar and serves as their food source, while propolis is made from resins collected from trees and plants. Propolis is used by bees for its protective and antibacterial properties, whereas honey is used for nourishment.
Yes, propolis has been shown to support immune health due to its antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps strengthen the body’s natural defences by protecting against harmful pathogens and supporting overall immune function. However, it should not replace medical treatments for serious conditions.
