What is bee propolis?
Bee Propolis is sticky resin that comes out of the buds on some trees. The bees collect propolis and line the interior of brood cells with it to prepare the hive for the Queen to lay eggs. Bee propolis can be used as an antiseptic, antibiotic, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral. The propolis is used for a variety of purposes including treating cancer, urinary tract infections, open wounds, and sinus congestion as well as treating other diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, and viruses.

Bee pollen has all the necessary nutrients our body needs. This includes vitamins, minerals, amino acids, proteins, enzymes, and coenzymes. Bee pollen has antibiotic properties that help with viral and bacterial disease prevention. It also has antihistamine properties making it helpful for treating allergies. Additionally, bee pollen has antioxidant properties that help fight and prevent life threatening diseases.

The process of pollen collection begins with the honeybee leaving the hive to find nectar and pollen to feed the colony. Pollen is the male reproductive part of plants that flower. The pollen is collected at the same time as the bees collect the flower’s nectar, which serves as the colony’s food. The bees collect the pollen on their hairy bodies as they land on different flowers and collect nectar. This process helps flowers reproduce.

The bees brush the pollen off their legs while in flight. The honeybees add their own special stuff to the pollen to make the pollen sticky enough to stick in the pollen baskets on their hind legs. This turns the pollen into bee pollen. The bee pollen is carried back to the hive and deposited in pollen catching devices at the entrance to the hives.

Bee pollen contains important nutrients that humans need for survival and longevity. The bee pollen nutrients are ones that help keeps your body running smoothly and thus youthful. The nutrients also help increase energy, restore metabolism balance, and prevent life threatening diseases. Bee pollen can also improve cell regeneration as part of its ability to nourish the whole body.

High-grade bee products can help increase your life span significantly. The best quality bee products are ones that are freeze dried to protect the pollen’s potency.

Some of the cleanest and most pure propolis comes from New Zealand. This is because there is no visible industries, dense human population, or commercial use of sprayed insecticides, pesticides, and fertilizers where the bees live and the pollen is harvested in New Zealand.

Pollution and the density of human population can negatively affect the propolis and bee pollen processing. This is because heavy metals, chemicals, toxins, and other impurities end up affecting the way bees manufacture and process bee products. Many bee supplements using bee products from countries other than New Zealand are not as effective at providing human health benefits because of the pollution and human population effects on the bees.
