What is the origin of Propolis

Propolis is a sticky, waxy substance that bees make from resin that they extract from the buds of trees (mainly poplar, birch, elder, willow, linden and conifers).

The bees process this resin with their salivary enzymes and mix it with beeswax and pollen to form a golden-brown to red-brown substance, propolis.

Propolis is hard and brittle at cold temperatures, softens above 30°C and melts around 60°C - 70°C. Propolis is Greek and means suburb, which indeed indicates a protective barrier.

The bees use propolis to seal cracks and holes in the beehive, to strengthen the raten (cell cages of the larvae) and keep them germ-free, to ensure a constant optimal temperature and to protect the bee colony against invading germs, insects and foreign substances.

Propolis already appears at the time of the Egyptians, who used it to embalm the dead.
Incas know propolis mainly for its softening effect on the airways.
The Greek Aristotle mainly applied it to support the regenerative capacity of the skin.
