Welcome to the best bee propolis information site on the net !
Propolis is not royal jelly, honey or bee pollen. Instead it's a special material used by the bees to make sure that the hives are sterilized.
CREDITS
We would like to give our thanks to these individuals/sites for their contribution to BeePropolis.info. Most of the contribution is in the form of pictures you see accompanying our articles.
These pictures are taken mostly via Flickr's Creative Common License, in which we are subjected to honor the owner by giving them credits of their works.
For those that didn't come from Flickr, we follow the Section 107 of the Copyright Act, that stated, the reproduction of a copyrighted work will not constitute infringement of the copyright if the use is for "criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research." We believe our site falls into research and teaching - informing the public about propolis.
This fair use doctrine also lists four factors to evaluate whether a particular use is fair: "(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; (2) the nature of the copyrighted work; (3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and (4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work." 17 U.S.C. §107.
Almost all of pictures you see in this site is smaller than it's actual size.
