THE BENEFITS OF PROPOLIS

Propolis is antimicrobial (against bacteria and virus) and antifungal, among many other properties.

Propolis stands out for being a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant and it is known to accelerate healing in small wounds and mouth infections.

In addition, propolis helps relieve burns and prevents the development of cavities.

HOW DO WE COLLECT PROPOLIS?

In order to collect propolis, nets with elongated holes are placed on the upper part of the beehive, above the honey combs, where bees deposit the propolis.

Once these nets are covered with propolis, they are collected and the propolis is collected for future use in products such as honey with propolis, dyes and mouth spray.
