Propolis The Bee Hive Product
Propolis is a sticky plant-derived material used by bees as their available
caulking, sealing, lining, strengthening, preserving and
probably repellent material inside the hive and around the entrance. It is
the material that sticks frames and other hive parts together. It is also found
in a layer as a thin ‘varnish’ over all the inner surfaces of the hive including
wax combs. Small cracks and holes in the nest cavity are often filled with
propolis, damaged combs are repaired with propolis and objects that cannot be
removed from the nest are frequently sealed with propolis.
