What is Bee Propolis?

If you have ever read a health magazine or wandered through a health food store you probably have come across bee propolis. It is usually touted as a detoxifier and a supplement great for energy. But what is it?

Worker bees actually collect resins that 'leak' from leaf buds and bark of certain trees. These worker bees then mix the resins with wax, honey, and enzymes and propolis is made.

The bees then use this great compound to repair their honeycombs, seal cracks, etc.

Propolis is one of the most concentrated botanical liver detoxifiers known.
