Propolis, Honey and Royal Jelly

Bees use honey as their day to day food and royal jelly as a special food reserved for the queen and baby bees.

But they use propolis as their medicine.

If we use cement and paint for our home, bees use propolis for theirs. But propolis is far better than our paint or cement because it helps strengthen their home and also ward of diseases in the crowded hive.

Scientists studying bees have acknowledged that bee hives are nature’s most sterile place — thanks to this substance called propolis.
